Intl Award Winning Animation & VFX Professional & Educator

Hal M.

I am an international award winning animation and visual effects film maker with an impressive 40 plus year career in the motion picture, television, and amusement park industries specializing in animation, visual effects, and animatronics as a director, producer, supervisor, and technician. I have helped to or personally created numerous classic and ground breaking techniques and moments on many animation and visual effects Academy Award and Emmy winning projects.

Additionally, I also not only taught animation, visual effects and animatronics at the Savannah College of Art and Design for 11 years, but also helped to create those divisions of the school and their curriculum.

I have a love for every style and technique of animation, visual effects, and animatronics, but I have a deep passion for stop motion animation and I'm considered by many to be the chief authority and archivist of the art form, which I am very humble to accept.

I have been working with computers since 1979 and have been instrumental over the years in merging both art and computer technology together into the wonderful creative art form it is today.

I can be the tutor that can not only help you in problem solving in a specific technical area, but also a tutor with over 40 years of fine artistic experience that can help you merge the two together.

If you are interested in learning and being mentored by one the pasts entertainment industries leading creators, and also someone who is interested in passing on their knowledge to the next generation of creators, please feel free to contact me.
