I am the instrument of the hand-drawn revolution!
My name is Rodger Perry, I hail from Herndon, a corporate-minded little suburb in Northern VA. (30min from Wash D.C) I have a BFA in Kinetic Imaging from VCU (film, Video, Animation design) yet I do not have a field job because I am most skilled in old school hand-drawn x-sheet frame by frame animation (with some computer compositing). Basically my job is almost extinct in the U.S. or has been outsourced plus I'm on the wrong darn coast. I work by day as an Audio Visual Technician at a community college and Animate in my spare time...alone...sigh. My goal is to travel to some place like Qatar and kindle a new renaissance of hand-drawn animation...or more realistically start a small studio in my beloved Richmond, a place where hand-drawn animators can work side by side with computers and make cartoons that are actually...well...decent again. That as an x-sheet guerrilla force, we will take back educational animation from the hands of the capitalists and make materials that promote the ascent of humanity once again. The revolution will not be made in Flash, it will be hand drawn baby and on the East side! (catch my angle)

About Me:
I'm a young Animator from Northern VA. who is primarily a character Animator. I work in a mixed media of hand-drawing and computer compositing. I bought my first Cintiq this year, so I'm branching out into drawing frame by frame directly into the computer via Illustrator or Photoshop and compositing in Motion. I am a skilled editor in Final Cut Studio where I put the finishing touch on everything. Truily I do it all from punching my own paper to Editing. I inbetween all my own material and make my own backgrounds. I'm always looking for a partner to share the load with, but North Virginia is not a hotbed of 2D Animators, nor really even art students who can be taught to inbetween.
Profession:
Audio Visual Manager at a local community college
Education:
Dec. 2006 (Magna Cum Laude) BFA "Kinetic Imaging" from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Richm
Resume/CV:

Movies:
It's so strange a mix and so hard to explain, I'm just not going to go there, but here's a peek into the Rabbit Hole... I like "Soy Cuba" and "Master and Commander" and would easily watch them both on the same night, in fact I might just do that tonight!!!!!
Television:
aside from the BBC International News channel. I really don't watch it too much...cartoon channels excepted, but that's mostly to size up the filthy competition!
Books:
Once again, a strange selection..."Judge Dee" Mystery Novels, followed by "Master and Commander" with a little "Voyage to Archtouris" on the side.

Hold the Bible please....
Influences:
God, I can't deny God... after that it's Don Bluth, Richard Williams, Ralph Bakshi, Herbal Keys to the golden spiritual path and the desire to leave the town I have been living in for the past 27 years.
Addictions:
Recluesivness...please guys, talk to me, make fun of me, whatever, I really joined AniBoom to find some like minded Animator Friends to communicate with. Otherwise I'm in my basement with the Light board and hole puncher.
