DISNEY ANIMATION
DISNEY ANIMATION CAREERS
After a few internships at other animation studios during college, I got my start at Disney Animation through the Apprentice Program in the Animation department. During the first week or two, the studio celebrated a huge wrap party for Big Hero 6, which was a crazy way to start my time at the Studio! After a period of training, my first project at Disney was animating on Zootopia.
Whether it be a portfolio for storyboarding or an animation demo reel, I like seeing characters with unique and specific personalities and behaviors. I like clearly understanding what the characters are thinking and feeling and why.
My favorite thing about working at Disney Animation is being able to learn from the many inspiring artists that work here. I like having access to training resources such as the lunch time figure drawing classes.
My favorite Disney movies growing up were Tarzan, Emperor's New Groove, and Lilo and Stitch.
Through sequential sketches, Story Artists work closely with directors and writers to explore the compelling ideas that will bring our characters and worlds to life.
