Gary Eggleston is a graduate of The Art Center College of Design. Although he has worked with Disney Studios extensively, he had also worked for Nicelodeon, Saban, Marvel, Film Roman, Fred Wolf, don Bluth, Bakshi, Saul Bass, and many other studios.
When Disney TV began encouraging the use of computers, Gary embraced the new technology. He began enhancing his traditional painting skills using the applications Adobe Photoshop and Fractal Painter. The results were fantastic. Having caught the CG bug, Gary, anxious to further his computer skills, delved into 3D. He was able to transfer within Disney into Imagineer’s Virtual Reality Lab. There he began learning Mulit-Gen, alias, Amazon Paint, LightWave, Detailer and Lightscape. Gary is surrently Art director for Disney’s "Hercules" VR ride and he’s creating "Virtual Sets" for TV production.
Gary has attained a unique versatility as an artist, combining his well honed talent for traditional painting skills with CG. He is breaking new grounds, bringing the richness and depth once reserved only for master background painters into the 3D realm.
Jamie Lloyd was born the son of a sharecropper, abandoned at the tender age of 18 and raised by roaming packs of CGI timberwolves on the Delmarva peninsula. His mercenary skills on the render que grew to legendary proportions, and he was soon hired for some illicit animation work by the now defunked Magnet Interactive.
Jamie is currently an effects animator for Dreamworks Feature Animation, where he toils endlessly on his workstation atop a mound of pillows as virgins dangle ripe grapes just before his monitor...

Josh Scherr left Maryland for Los Angeles in 1993 (the plans for a lucrative English-major career did not pan out) to pursue his dream of being an animator. After two years at USC, he received a MFA degree in animation that has proven to be much more useful.
Since graduation, Josh has done work for Tokyo Broadcasting Station, Digital Domain, DreamWorks, and is currently working as a freelance animator.
In his spare time, Josh likes to read (old habits die hard), go to art-house and revival movie houses, and generally tries to avoid sitting 5" from computer monitors.
