The Making of Frozen

It has been a long time I didn't update my blog. I was so busy during these few months. Busying for my big day in my life, my job and more. I have to be organized and stay focus to complete my tasks one by one.

ANIMDESK interviewed my mentor Jean-Denis Haas - Character Animator in ILM

Jean-Denis Haas is a Senior Lead Animator at Industrial Light & Magic and is currently working on Transformers 4: Age of Extinction. Jean-Denis was born and raised in Switzerland. From an early age on he was exposed to movies since his father was an avid movie collector. His interests in visual effects and animation stayed with him all through his childhood. At the age of 22 he moved to the United States in order to study animation and graduated in 2003 from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
He started at ILM in 2004 as an animation intern and has worked there ever since, animating on movies such as Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Rango and the Transformer series.
Jean-Denis also teaches animation at the Academy of Art and online through his Spungella Animation Workshops.
