I can't thank you enough for this, Sir.

Stephen Chiodo is still the best director I've ever worked for; he always makes sure to teach his artists new things while also keeping an exciting and supportive working environment. Great to see him sharing more of his knowledge!

I had hoped that when Jurassic park with the DID ( Dinosaur input device) was the way Stop motion was going to go - in CGI but that only lasted for the film .
