What we have here is a crew very passionate about their work on the upcoming cartoon.

Edgar Carlos background designer
When I was in school I drew pictures that only classmates and teachers could see. Now I work in animation and create pictures for the whole world to watch! School is the best place to start telling stories in drawings or words

George Cox background painter & character color stylist
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time with my grandmother, and she taught me how to color with crayons in coloring books and how to stay within the lines. We used to talk about the names of the colors, what they represented and how color helps define not just what something looks like, but also how color can inspire emotion and expression in the world all around us. To this day I use what she taught me to help create the world our animated characters live in, from choosing the colors of the trees, the sky, and the people to painting scenes of happiness, sadness or excitement… And I still stay in the lines (most of the time)!

Brandon Mickinney storyboard artist
You draw a picture of a character doing something, you've got a cool drawing. You draw another picture of that character a moment later, now you have a STORY. You've just done Sequential Art, one of the most powerful forms of storytelling there is.

Armen Mirzaian storyboard artist
If I were to choose just ONE favorite thing in life, I would choose drawing. I have been drawing ever since I was young. And the best part about having a job in animation, especially as a story artist, is that it really isn't a job…it’s something I love to do. So if you like to draw, just keep on drawing and there is a good chance you'll end up in animation!

Scott Bern director
When I was a kid I would draw pictures that told the story of things that I did during my day: building a bike ramp with my friends, going to the pet store, or having an ice cream sundae. I liked to come up with ideas to make these stories even more exciting, so I drew rocket bikes zooming around giant looping ramps, pet stores on another planet that had really weird animals, and what it would be like to have an ice cream sundae if I was only two inches tall (I could swim in the chocolate sauce!). Now it’s my JOB to draw pictures that tell exciting stories, so I’m a very lucky guy who gets paid for doing one of my favorite things to do!

Nathan Chew director/storyboard artist
Waaay back in the day when I was a kid, I used to sit around for hours after finishing my homework, trying to draw characters from my favorite cartoons and comic books, which, by the way, I still do. Only now, as a Storyboard Artist and Director, I get paid for it. It’s my job to take the written words of a script and make them visual. Bottom line, I tell stories through many drawings. I find it’s a pretty cool way to earn a living…jus saying!

Randy Myers supervising director
You don't know what you don't know. Once you make up your mind to follow your dream, the best plan is to figure out how to achieve that goal. In most cases that means increasing your knowledge and ability in whatever field you choose to pursue. And there are three ways to pursue that goal, the first and best way is to go to school, find the best school you possible can and do whatever it takes to get in. The second is to find a mentor, a smart, talented individual who is willing to talk to you and teach you and help guide you on your way to your goal. The third and hardest route is, get your foot in the door, start at the bottom and work your way up. Whichever path you choose to take I guarantee you one thing, by the end of your career you will realize how much you didn't know when you started.

Scooter Tidwell director
All I used to do in school is draw. When I was supposed to be working, I’d be drawing. Man, if my teachers could see me now! In my job you still need to be able to read and write, but you get to draw! All day long!

Jeff Kline executive producer
You never know where the germ of a good story is going to come from; absolutely everything you learn in the classroom, and in life, could be fodder.

Lorena Gallego casting coordinator
Having the opportunity to work with extraordinary actors such as the man who brings Optimus Prime to life is one of the most exciting things about my job in casting for animation. Also, I love being able to contribute my own creativity into each story and getting to see those choices come to life when the character speaks

Gerald Kaye production assistant
I was always the creative type. I spent a lot of time as a kid sketching around, coming up with my own cartoon/videogame/anime worlds and characters. Now that I’m older, I can see that animation is the perfect place for folks like me: folks that want to hold on to their passion for creativity. Every day, I watch worlds come to life, filled with ninjas, robots - even ninja robots! This is quite possibly the coolest job on the planet

Tracey Marzioli production assistant
I love working in animation because it's a job where using your imagination is encouraged. I get the opportunity to help bring stories to life and it's really rewarding to see it all come together on screen.

Amanda McCann production assistant
Cartoons are my favorite form of storytelling because anything you could imagine can come to life. As a production assistant on GI Joe, I get to be a part of that creative process

Tom Wolkiewicz production coordinator
I remember getting up early on Saturdays, pouring a big bowl of Fruit Loops and watching cartoons all morning. At that age, I did not think that it would be my job to actually make the cartoons. It can be hard work, but it is fun and exciting too. Everyday I get to bring imagination to life and relive my childhood. At the same time I am making memories for the children today.
