Stanford Neal Nick, this is amazing. You deserve more for what you do. You truly have a unique talent, and I hope that the future holds growth and prosperity for you.

StacyK Realized that you have a different shirt on, but because this shirt and the one in Photograph both are black and white, I thought it was the same one. My bad.

More D23 "Aladdin" photos :)

Hello all!


Hope everyone had a great long weekend! I had a blast performing and meeting peeps (including our very own Patreon member Gina) at Playlist Live in D.C. :)


While I get myself back in the swing of things, I though I'd post another photo I was recently sent from the Aladdin panel at D23! Got to take an official photo with everyone after the event! The nicest bunch of people you could hope to meet!


(top photo) From left to right......


Darrin Butters (moderator of the panel and current Disney animator)

John Musker (Director)

Eric Goldberg (Head animator on The Genie)

Brad Kane (Singing Voice of Aladdin)

Scott Weinger (Speaking voice of Aladdin)

Linda Larkin (Speaking voice of Jasmine)

Me

Mark Henn (Supervising animator on Jasmine)

Ron Clements (Director)


Hope all is well!!!

Borrowed Time -Animated Short

Hello all!!


Many of my friends have been working tirelessly over the last few years on an amazing animated short called  Borrowed Time. They are almost ready to release, and the teaser just went live today!


We are trying to spread the word about the short and get as many people exposed to it as possible. No release date has been set yet, but check out and follow the official facebook and twitter pages for updates! Share/like/follow/spread the word! :)


https://www.facebook.com/btanimatedshort?ref=profile


https://twitter.com/BTAnimatedShort


http://borrowedtimeshort.com/


I didn't work on the short from a visual standpoint, but I had the privilege of providing the voice for one of the three main characters (the young man featured in the thumbnail). I feel incredible lucky to be involved in any capacity and can't wait for people to see the finished film!


<3
