On occassion of onehugeeye’s 10th anniversary, we’re doing a series of interviews with big inspirational names in the animation world. This week we’ve published an interesting chat with Pixar legend Jeff Pratt.
Jeff Pratt has had a fascinating (slightly meandering) career. After many years working as a space shuttle engineer for NASA, Jeff swapped the ‘infinite and beyond’ for a graphic design and computer animation path, which he kicked off with none other than Pixar, joining the teams behind ‘Toy Story’ 1 and 2, ‘A Bug’s Life’, ‘Monsters Inc’. and (as modeller/rigger) ‘Finding Nemo’. Then, after gathering bundles of experience as an animation monk he moved on, logically, to become a master and pass on his wisdom. First at Expression College just outside of San Francisco and finally at Escape Studios in the United Kingdom, where he currently works.
