About Nicholas Dobkin

I'm a story driven 2D animation generalist, focused in storyboard but experienced in background design, animation, and production at all levels. I directed 12 episodes of Mojo Mondays to teach social emotional learning for the Class Dojo company, building up their in-house animation staff from scratch and boarding and supervising the finished products on a weekly basis. My work has screened at San Diego Comic Con and my feature documentary Touching Sound screened at GDC. Local to the LA area and always keen for a good story!
