Studio Sunday
- Since I have a lot of photos – I mean a lot of photos of my various crews over the years, I thought it’d be fun to post some of these and will use Sunday as the best day for it.
To break the habit before I start, I’m putting up a caricature of the staff done in 1992 by a fabulous artist and animator who worked for us. Rodolfo Damaggio was someone who came fully formed from Brazil. I gave him his first job in the US, and was glad that I did. He started as an assistant and it took him two days to become an animator. He was a dynamo to work with. He’s moved out of animation onto comic books (Superman, Green Arrow et al) and storyboards for feature films (Jurassic Park trilogy, Star Wars III, currently Iron Man).
(Click on image to enlarge.) A better crew you won’t find - at the steenbeck.
Pictured: (back row standing) Sue Perotto (animator), Elizabeth Seidman (production coordinator), Ray Kosarin (animator), Stephen Gambello (colorist/runner), Masako Kanayama (designer/Production Manager), Marilyn Rosado (studio manager), Rodolfo Damaggio (animator), Jason McDonald (colorist/storyboards/designer).
(Front row seated) Stephen MacQuignon (colorist), George (Dancing Frog), me, Ed Askinazi (editor), Denise Gonzalez (assistant/publicity).
Not pictured: Christine O’Neill (colorist, at the time) who doesn’t like her picture taken and worked out of the studio at the time. It always has bothered me that she wasn’t in there.
