Yep, I’m working ...Jerm,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliments. <BR/><BR/>Yep, I’m working at Sony Pictures Animation right now. I was hired about three years ago and lured from my posh Utah ranch-style home back into LA once again. I freelanced for seven years outside of California, but with the changing animation industry, I knew I had to come back into town (take and in-house job) and adapt. That seems to be the name of the game in any industry, “adapt” or become irrelevant. 2D animation was being sold to the glue factory, and I still had a few races still in me! I was chomping at the bit to get into the 3D animation world.<BR/><BR/>Originally I trained to become an illustrator, but unfortunately that industry dried up before I finished school. My first job was at DIC animation, but within a few years I landed a job with Walt Disney Imagineering. There I could use both my illustration skills, and my drawing and design skills … it was a lot of fun to work there at first. But, over time, the theme park industry started to dry up too. I worked at Imagineering for five and a half years; then I transferred over to Disney’s feature animation department to work in-house for a year and fulfill a childhood dream … before leaving the comforts of the studios for the wide open pastures of freelance. <BR/><BR/>When I was freelancing, I was working mostly for Disney Animation and gaming companies, but I did a little bit of everything, including illustration and Imagineering work.<BR/><BR/>--MarceloSketch Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657802405340861298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15365090.post-1136834064461699012006-01-09T11:14:00.000-08:002006-01-09T11:14:00.000-08:00Marcelo,Great!

Are you at Sony?<BR/>I noticed awhile back on your website that you did some Disneyland stuff, were you at Imagineering or did you free-lance from your home office for imagineering? And how did you get work with them?<BR/><BR/>Oh and thanks for the kind words you left on my blog!<BR/><BR/>-JermAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15365090.post-1136654266504303402006-01-07T09:17:00.000-08:002006-01-07T09:17:00.000-08:00Great sketch Marcelo.
