T. Dan Hofstedt
T. Dan Hofstedt’s resume reads like an all-time great list of animated classics. Seven years at Sullivan-Bluth, sixteen years at Disney, nine years at Warner Bros and four at Sony Imageworks, T. Dan’s career has spanned decades where he has worked on both 2D and 3D projects. His foundation is the classic “actor with a pencil” (or a computer), where no matter what the medium is, the emphasis is on character. Returning to Animation after several years serving as Animation Supervisor, T. Dan will be teaching 2D animation workshops.
