I think my first character I started to develop called Leeroy. It was because of him I got to spend some time at Disney Australia, and start working with my eventual Partner when we started Mad Cow Pictures.

I think it was Comic Books first, and then a natural progression to Continue reading

Andrés Zorrilla

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Andrés Zorrilla. Currently I´m working as an Animator on a Long 3D Film called Metegol/Futbolin.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
My first job (when I finished school) was very disappointing and crazy. I was offered an internship in a graphic design studio, of course I was very excited about the idea of achieving my first experience in the industry. The funny story about this is that at the end I finished being the studio car driver, driving the owner from one place to another with my own car.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
A few years ago I was the Modeler and Animator in charge of the new broadcast brand for Fox Sports Latam. That was my first experience working for TV and I feel the outcome was really good. Also.. Continue reading

Chris Prynoski

What is your name and your current occupation? 
My name is Chris P. No one knows how to pronounce Prynoski. And it sounds like Chris Pee, which is something I do every day. And when I urinate I say, “Chris Pee…” like I’m the Hulk or Frankenstein. It’s fun. Don’t call me Chris Piss, though. That sounds stupid.
My current occupation is owner/president of Titmouse. It’s an animation studio in Hollywood. I usually direct a project or two at any given time. I just finished directing a pilot called Major Lazer for Adult Swim. Now all my time is devoted to Motorcity, a show I created that we are making for Disney XD. It’s about muscle cars in the future for 12 year old boys or 40 year old men with a mid life crisis.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I worked at an Exxon service station in New Jersey. It was right off the turnpike, next to an adult book store and right across from another Exxon station. I’m pretty sure it was owned by the mob. When I worked the night shift, we would watch the Simpsons on an old black and white tv and play hockey with brooms and spray can tops while washing down the bays.
I also worked at a video rental shop. It didn’t have a porn section. Bummer.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
I’ve been pretty lucky. I have a lot of favorites. I was at MTV in the mid-late 90’s and have been working with Adult Swim for the past 7 years. My first directing gig was the.. Continue reading

David Wachtenheim


What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is David Wachtenheim, and I am an animator/director/producer at W/M Animation which I own with my partner Robert Marianetti.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Crazy?  I don’t know about crazy.  I worked as a P.A. on some furniture commercials which was mainly like working for a moving company.  I also worked as a P.A for matte painters Bob Scifo and Ken Allen at the now defunct Dream Quest Images.  The craziest thing there was working with James Cameron on some preliminary work for The Abyss and watching so many people fawn all over him and tripping over themselves to do his bidding.  I got fed up when I was told to hold the slate for the shots and getting yelled at for not getting the slate out fast enough.  I also worked in a pharmacy for a Summer for my brother which was a little insane.  He can be pretty intense.  You should never work for your brother.  Actually, I can’t say that, I don’t know your brother.  What I meant was, you should never work for MY brother.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’m glad you asked what am I ashamed to have worked on.  Most of the stuff we have done at our studio has been adult oriented for Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central and Adult Swim and I am pretty ashamed of all of it.  Well, not so much ashamed but I can’t show my kids much of it.  The stuff we have done for Sesame Street and Cartoon Network I am pretty proud of.  To be honest,

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? 
I worked at sonic drive in and we got robbed three time lucky i had those days off. We had free food for days but not good for the body. It was a great growing experience for me and it was like a family i had on the side.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
I am proud of my Stewie animation rendition of rocket man because my professor told me I did a great job in the amount of time i had which boosted my confidence.

I became interested in animation at a very early age in loony tunes and many different types cartoons like Continue reading

Wade Wisinski

What is your name and your current occupation?
Wade Wisinski,  Line Producer,  The Looney Tunes Show, Warner Bros. Animation.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I owned and operated a chain or retail comic book stores. The shop in Newhall, CA is still there with fabulous new ownership – Brave New World – check it out. If you have ever spent any quality time in a comic book store, you may get a pretty good idea of what it would be like to work, live, eat, and sleep in one. All of the stereotypes are true.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
All of them pretty much. I’ve been fortunate to have begun working on Kevin Smith’s Clerks, then the first three seasons of Kim Possible, The Spectacular Spider-Man (my favorite Spider-Man interpretation by far…). Most recently some classic character takes – Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and The Looney Tunes Show.

How did you become interested in animation?
Animated films and televisions shows were the first movies and TV I watched, which is typical. That’s all I knew for a while, really. I was obsessed with comic books, but animation was always around. As I became more entrenched in Continue reading
