My experience with animation is that I'm heavily invested in the medium. I went to school for animation and have earned a BFA and MFA concentrating in the art form. As a result of various assignments and classes, I have dabbled in a few techniques and methods with stop motion, 2D and 3D. I have a solid understanding of the animation pipeline process from making student films and I have worked professionally as an animation retaker and clean-up artist at a few studios. Primarily, I work as an Assistant Professor teaching animation and visual storytelling classes.

Nic Parris is an East Coast artist from Virginia now working on the West Coast currently working with Nelvana and Nickelodeon. In the past, he's worked as a Graphic Designer, Flash Animator, Storyboard Artist, and almost every position in pre-production at some smaller studios. He jumped to the big leagues in 2016 working on shows like Teen Titans Go!, Trolls: the Beat Goes On!, and The Casagrandes. What really helped Nic’s social media gain followers was his e-book on Gumroad called Let’s Learn Some Storyboarding. When he isn't storyboarding, he likes to work on character designs and comics, watch cartoons, and stream on Twitch as Nicmundo.

I’m Maxwell Racz, a lead 2D character animator in Vancouver, BC. I’ve spent most of the last decade working in both feature film and television for clients such as Disney, DreamWorks, and Hasbro. My favourite part about working in animation is the ability to bring international audiences together through diverse stories – even if we don’t share a language, animation makes it possible to communicate with anyone!
