Describe your career progression briefly from a 3D animator at The Monk Studios to Senior Animator at Sony Pictures Imageworks.<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

The first job I ever had was at the Monk studio in Thailand, which was eleven years ago in 2012. When I started in the animation industry, I worked on TV shows such as “Paddle Pop” and “Talking with Tom.” However, it was only when “Strange Magic” came along that Lucas Films hired The Monk studio to create its first animated feature film. The incredible animators at Lucasfilm set a high standard, and I was aware that I’ll need to invest extra time and effort to catch up.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

After completing this project, my new goal was to join a larger studio and take on more complex feature film projects.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Following my 3.5-year tenure at The Monk, I was offered a Senior Animator position at Original Force in China, where I contributed to the feature animation project “DUCK DUCK GOOSE.” It was during this time that I had the fortunate encounter with Denis Couchon, a former Dreamworks supervisor. This encounter turned out to be a significant stroke of luck for me. I spent two years working in China before receiving a job offer from Sony.<\/p>

My career at Sony commenced as a mid-level animator on films like Hotel Transylvania 3, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Angry Birds 2. I continued working there until I was promoted to senior animator on The Mitchells vs. the Machines. After completing my work on The Mitchells vs. the Machines, I had planned to return to The Monk Studio, where I had previously worked as an animation director.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I spent almost two years with The Monk studio, refining my management skills and directing a feature-length animated intellectual property. However, Sony approached me about returning to lead Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Consequently, in 2021, I rejoined Sony Pictures Imageworks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
