Tim’s Animation Portfolio

Hello, cartoon compatriot! This page of my archival website is a non-public sampling of recent animation works.

Video clips can be found below the resume if you want to jump right in!

I’ve been in the TV biz since 1996, jumping from one cool gig to another, often directing and/or boarding for entire seasons. I’ve had healthy doses of action-adventure and comedy with several full-CG productions in the roster (all listed below). I’m proficient in Photoshop and Storyboard Pro.

As both a director and a supervising director, I have handled all aspects of production on hundreds of episodes including artist training, managing freelancers, character/prop/BG design, creating and editing animatics, rewriting scripts, working with timers & checkers, and more. I gained experience working remotely many years before Covid arrived, directing a Canadian team from L.A. on extremely complex Marvel projects, so long-distance communication is nothing new to me.

I specialize in complex, multi-layered productions and have yet to meet a deadline I cannot beat into the ground. Give me a script, I’ll give you a show.
