A 2D animator in a 3D world.
Matt Williames began his 30 year career at the age of 14 while still in Jr. High School on films like SPACE JAM (1996), THE QUEST FOR CAMELOT, ANASTASIA, and the Oscar nominated STUBBLE TROUBLE.
After High School Matt attended CalArts Character Animation program and at the age of 20 was hired by Warner Brothers Feature Animation as an animator on LOONEY TUNES:BACK IN ACTION.
Upon the wrap of that film Matt was met at a crossroads of career paths: stay with hand drawn animation which seemed to be dying a slow death, or pursue CG which was thriving and becoming the standard for animated film production. He chose the former- a career that has taken him to almost every major studio working across several capacities and leaves him as one of the few remaining hand drawn animators actively working in the industry.
Matt has worked on such films as: CORALINE, PRINCESS AND THE FROG, ME AND MY SHADOW, KLAUS, SWAPPED, the oscar nominated short ADAM AND DOG, and the up-coming RAY GUNN.
Matt is currently a Supervising Animator and Character Art Director at Skydance Animation.
