What is your name and your current occupation?
Aaron Rozenfeld and I am unemployed.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I haven’t had a job any crazier than in animation except for selling(or to be more precise, not selling) ugly t-shirts to the audience of the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. But that more sucked than was crazy and was after I got into and left out of the animation industry. I’m not really sure what crazy means. I’ve always interpreted crazy as ‘knowing the difference between right and wrong, but not caring. Being that I’m a both moral and spiritual person, I always care about right and wrong so I wouldn’t participate in a crazy job.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
The Simpsons, Futurama, Fairly Odd Parents, and the next job in animation I get.

What is your name and your current occupation?
Eddie Moreno, I’m a freelance animator. Still green but moving along in this rough profession.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
 I was a construction worker right after highschool. I delivered supplies to job sites and got to know some cool characters. Made mistakes and got kicked around. Working around 30s – 40s year old will toughen you up quick. Meanwhile I was taking art classes to hone my skill because I knew to be an animator you needed to be a craftsman with your pencil. You carve into paper.I was also a caricature artist at six flags but that’s another story…0_0

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
 hmmmm Right now I am polishing “turds” as it were. My Teacher told me that to make it in this industry you have to give you best even when the projects aren’t great but the people I worked with taught me a lot and I am grateful for every bit of work they throw at me esp being in the USA at this time… Recessionnn…………..~~~~~ but to answer your question, I was very proud of my 2009 year film in Calarts. It got me into the Producer’s Show and it wasn’t about cute bunnies making friends. It was about PTSD and the Vietnam Veteran. Deep things…

At age 8 my uncle (age 11)  showed me the single greatest 2d film ever made by humans, Continue reading
