I want to add that I think stories like this, from other countries in Asia, will connect with Japanese. What I am not interested in doing is material from the West dubbed into Japanese -- we have more than enough of that around. I will take a look...

While studying 'Disney'esque 2D animation I learned all about stretch and squash, animating on 2's, accenting, lip syncing, all of the stuff that Richard Williams writes about in his book, The Animators Survival Kit.
I still have a ream of 12-field paper and my pegs sitting here next to my desk. Sometimes I wonder about pulling it all out again and doing some key poses or beat boards.
Eventhough these days I am primarily a Flash animator and digital artist, I just wanted you to know that I still have a soft spot in my heart for the hand-drawn frame-by-frame art form of animation. I am 42, so during the 70's I grew up on ABC's "School House Rock".
God bless and I am thrilled that you have made a niche for your own genre of Christian gospel-message based storytelling. I know that is a great God-honoring blessing that He has given to you.
Anyway, as a new motion graphics animator in the Los Angeles area, I was impressed by your bio. If you ever gave seminars or classes, I would definately sign up! -- Thomas

Awesome resume, by the way. It might be weird to say this, but I grew up on some of your work! hahaha. What a sobering reminder that I am still a baby in this business. :)
Glad to see you here!
