Profile Information
- Are you a trained or self-taught animator?
- Self-taught
- Where are you located or based?
- Houston, TX
- Do you have an online portfolio or link to your work?
- http://www.brandonray.net
- What's your favorite animation (tv show, short, feature film)?
- The Peanuts, Raggedy Anne and Andy's Musical Adventure
- What or who influenced you to started animating?
- Commander Mark started me drawing, & Charles Shultz's comics made start thinking an entire living reality can exist from one man's imagination (I love some of the Bill Millendez[sp?] cartoons).... Animated films like Unico and the Island of Magic and the Mouse and His Child left a lasting impression from my childhood, and Raggedy Anne & Andy's Musical Adventure tickled my imagination.
- Do you work in the industry or create animation as a hobby?
- Hobby... I do all my animated work outside my full-time dayjob. I know everyone's got a different path, but I'm trying to hold off on using my 'animated powers' for my income until I can figure out a scheme to make capital from my own productions. In the meantime, I'm just getting more and more comfortable with my own creative process.
- Tell us a bit about the software and hardware used in your creative work.
- Mac Pro 8-core, After Effects & PSD CS3, Toon Boom Studio, Corel Painter 9.5, Wacom Intuos, 3D Invigorator, as well as Garage Band, M-Audio Keyboard & Shure Condenser Mic (Forgot the model....)
- Where has your work been showcased on television, internet, film festivals, mobile etc?
- Hmmmmm... current work is just online at my website. My fledgling After Effects work was seen all virtually all the on-air station IDs, bumpers, & show intros for La Familia Network
- Any projects we can look forward to seeing from you in the near future?
- Return of the Commander, featuring Commander Mark Kistler himself (his first animated role... I think!?!). It's a 12-15 minute msuical, about 2/3 of the way through production.
- Can you recommend an animation film or animation book that every animator should see/read?
- Not for animation, but Sculpting in Time by Tarkovsky covers some great concepts on time in cinema that apply to animation as well
