I gained key knowledge storyboarding under a top, feature animation director on an hilariously oddball film, "THE WILLOUGHBYS". Sharpened my skills as a feature board artist. This gem of a studio is making this fresh feature look amazing.

Co-directing a new, funny, spazzy, sci-fi comedy 'PACKAGES FROM PLANET X' for DXH and American Greeting on Disney XD and Teletoon. Its got me thinking less about sparkles and rainbows, and more about lasers and farts. Hooray for boys cartoons! Directing 13 2 minute maniacal shorts and co-directing the main monumental series of 52 11 min eps. I'm reminded.

Directed seasons 1 to 3 of "MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC", wrangling Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow-Dash and Pinkie Pie into adventurous cuteness as I staved off overdose on sparkles and rainbows. Managed the episodes from Script to Screen with all steps in between. Managed a crew of approximately 62 folks. Managed to deliver approximately 62 episodes to.

...on production: Kid Vs KatReviewed and revised overseas and in house flash animation. Went to a studio in China to train 20 animators on using advanced Flash animation techniques to achieve traditionally cartoony looking animation.

...on production: PuccaReviewed and revised animation for a team of 16 flash animators. Turned a good scene into an epic scene with use of a cinematic style camera work and simple but effective flourishes to the character animation. Assisted Directors and Editors on rough cuts.

...on productions: George Of The JungleReviewed and revised overseas animation. improved mediocre flash animation and made it loose, cartoony and fun.

Sweated and Toiled with Sweaty Toilers to make 5 seasons of a renegade cartoony cartoon - Ed, Edd n Eddy. Cartoons by cartoonists - storyboarded from outlines not scripts. Came up with scenarios, gags, dialogue and character traits...even rewrote the story! Such a fun project to be apart of.
