Recap – Photo Sunday / Studio Groups

- Here’s a fun recap from January 2007. Nostalgia for me.

_______________________

- I thought it’d be great to put together some of the grouped staff shots we used to do a lot. For some reason we haven’t done any recently; maybe it’s because the numbers of people working here are quite a bit fewer. I guess it’s still worth while for posterity’s sake. We’ll do it soon.

All images enlarge by clicking them.

The Lyle crew, back in 1987:


Front row, sitting, L to R: Caroline Zegart - coloring, Steven Dovas - animator, John Schnall - Prod. Coordinator/Animator, Ray Kosarin - Asst. Animator/coloring, Michael Zodorozny - Layout, Bridget Thorne - Art Director/Bgs.

The Abel’s Island group, 1988:


Back row (L to R): Betsy Bauer (colorist), Ray Kosarin (asst animator/colorist), Laura Bryson (behind Ray) (colorist), Robert Marianetti (Prod Mgr), Theresa Smythe (colorist), Mike Wisniewski (asst animator/colorist)
Center row (L to R): Steve MacQuignon (colorist), George McClements (asst animator/ colorist), Greg Perler (editor)
Bot Row (L to R): me, Bridget Thorne (Bg’s)
Not pictured in the photos is Kit Hawkins, my assistant, who took them.

After the move to 632 Broadway a small group working on Baby’s Storytime:


Sitting L to R: me, Jason McDonald, Steve MacQuignon, Mary Thorne, Masako Kanayama

Here’s a birthday party in 1992:


(Back row L to R) colorist - Christine O'Neill, Masako Kanayama, Sue Perrotto, Steve MacQuignon, Ray Kosarin, Liz Seidman, Marilyn Rosado
(Fron row L to R) Ed Askinazi, Jason McDonald, Xiaogang He, Denise Gonzalez, Rodolfo Damaggio. I'm probably off camera still looking at the picture, or else I'm taking the picture.

A Christmas party back in 1996:


Back L to R: Ed Askinazi - editor, Liz Seidman - prod coord, Matthew Sheridan - asst, Stephen MacQuignon (hidden) - colorist, Denise Gonzalez (in yellow) - publicity/asst, Sue Perotto (in red) - animator, Jason McDonald's head - colorist, Masako Kanayama - production supervisor, Rodolfo Damaggio - animator, Marilyn Rosado - office manager.

This is the staff during the making of a pilot for Blackside Entertainment, The Land of the Four Winds. It’s another birthday picture. Lots of color deterioration in the photo. The exposure isn’t great – you can barely make out Champagne’s face.


Sitting around the table L to R: Farid Zacariah (runner), Greg Duva (Asst Anim), Adrian Urquidez(I&Pt), David Levy (Asst Anim), John "Quack" Leard (Asst Anim), Jason McDonald (design, I&Pt), Ed Askinazi (Editor), Robert Marianetti (Prod Coord), Heidi Stallings (casting), me.

Here’s one a couple of months later (a better photo by Kit Hawkins – who was also on staff then.) It celebrated Farid’s last day – our all around guy.


Front row kneeling L to R: Farid Zacariah (runner), Laura Bryson (Bg's), Madeline Fan (Asst Coord), Greg Duva (Asst Anim), Ed Askinazi (Editor)

I’m sure this is boring for a lot of you, but I had fun.

    If you notice that most of the men who worked on Abel’s Island had beards and mustaches this was no coincidence, Michael declared it law and those who didn’t had a Dr’s note:
