Penguins of Madagascar

I didn't work on "Penguins" very long, and it was my last stint at Dreamworks/PDI. It was good to get back into production with my old animation war buddies though! And it was good to get back out before they shut the place down.. R.I.P. PDI!  <3

Madagascar 3 Work

Part of what made working on "Madagascar 3" so fun was taking the style of "Madagascar", which had already and been established in the previous "Madagascar" films and tweaking it a little to try and capture some European sensibilities.
