July 31st, 2011 Laura

What is your name and your current occupation? 
Hi, my name is Eduard Ersek and I currently work as an animation supervisor.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?

How did you become interested in animation?

I was a Saturday morning cartoon junkie as a kid and didn’t turn off the T.V. until the sports came on.  I also love animals. I drew them and studied them inside and out, day and night especially dogs. There was a time that I couldn’t even (more…)
