Live the Dream! Webinar
Find out how our grads got their dream jobs at DreamWorks and Industrial Light & Magic (ILM)!
This webinar is an interview between Mentor Kenny Roy and two of Animation Mentor's recent graduates who discuss how they became animators and what they learned along the way.
KENNY ROY
Arconyx Animation Studios | Founder
Kenny Roy started his career in 1998 as a dustbuster on the animated film Marco Polo: Return to Xanadu. From those humble beginnings, he's gone on to animate some of the most memorable characters on screen. Notable credits include Scooby-Doo 2, Garfield and King Kong.
ADAM STRICK
DreamWorks Animation | Animator
Adam Strick started Animation Mentor in 2005. After graduating, his first job was in his hometown of Kansas at DXD Studios. He then moved to Avalanche Studios/Disney Interactive, and is currently at DreamWorks Animation animating crowds and cycles for How to Train Your Dragon set to hit theaters March 2010.
Travis Tohill
Tippett Studio | Animator
Travis Tohill was raised in Nashville, Tenn. and lived there until graduating from Animation Mentor in January 2009. He met with recruiters from ILM at the Animation Mentor job fair the day before graduation. Six days later, he moved from Nashville to San Francisco and was working on Transformers 2 at ILM. Currently at Tippett Studio, he will be returning to ILM in September to work on Rango (ILM's first fully animated film).
