What or who influenced you to started animating?
A combination between the worlds of Star Wars and the works of Ray Harryhausen gave me years of escape, wonder and hope to make it out of a poverty stricken childhood.

My focus is on the tactile real world puppets and miniatures that go into making stop motion animated films but, I do enjoy all of the advantages of technology to bring those images to the screen.

I have worked on many stop motion animated TV commercials in the roll of puppet fabricator.
