Marcelo Vignali said...: Hans,

I wanted to answer your question, but I also wanted to make sure you would find my answer ... so I'm posting it here.

I don't think it's a problem getting hired in California when you live out of state...provided you are what the studio is looking for, and the studio has a big enough budget. Smaller Saturday morning TV studios like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network probably will not pay to have you move to California, but they might hire you if you are willing to move yourself. Larger studios like Disney will pay for the move.; 2:50 PM

Hans said...: Thanks again everybody, it's a great motivation for me:)

Potato Farm Girl: The idea behind the drawing is actually that we're outside looking in to her home through the window. There's a storm going on outside and she's following it on the news, safe in her big chair:); 9:45 AM

About Me

Name: Hans

Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States

Currently working full time at Warner Brothers. I've been working as a professional in the Animation/Design industry since 2000, where I graduated from The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. On the day of my graduation I landed my first job as a BG lay-outer and assistant animator for a London based studio. Since then, I have worked on three feature films, five DVD films, three short films, two music videos, two animated TV series and 75+ wall mural layouts and themed environment designs. Having held many different positions, at studios in Denmark, England and the U.S.A. I've gained a well rounded understanding of the full production of animated films and entertainment. I'm extremely passionate about my work, I work well under pressure, never miss a deadline and I'm a good team player. My mission is to always surround myself with people I can learn from and hopefully inspire as well. I am always seeking new challenges, so please don't hesitate to contact me for further info.
