Anthony Scott "Animator": Animated on many top feature films using stop motion. At age eleven, inspired by the 1933 original King Kong, Ray Harryhausen's mythical monsters from the Sinbad movies and the Rankin/Bass annual Christmas specials such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, he began experimenting with this form of animation using a bare-bones Kodak Super-8 camera.

After high school, he attended Lansing Community College in Michigan and gained experience with 16mm film production.
