Hey it’s me, Alan. I started my career as a traditional 2D animator and after working for game cinematics, commercials and short films, I moved to Vancouver and worked as animator/supervising animator for Sony Imageworks, Rainmaker, Method Studios and Stellar Creative Lab. Some of my work includes Diablo III, Hotel Transylvania 2, Storks and Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas.
