Nelson Shin
 Dubbed the Godfather of Animation in South Korea, Nelson Shin is behind such iconic animated characters as the Simpsons, Pink Panther and Transformers. His work also extends to live action, including the famous Star Wars lightsaber
Although he has enjoyed enormous success in the animation field, Shin never received any training. Born in North Korea, he left his hometown and moved South during the upheaval of the Korean War when he was 13 years old.

Jereon Advocaat
 In the year 1977 I was born in the city Leeuwarden with the name Jeroen Advocaat.
As long as I can recall I have been painting and drawing. In June 1999 I graduated as an illustrator on the art school Minerva in the city Groningen. After graduation I was working as a 3D computer animator in the company Tiktak Multimedia In Beetsterzwaag. In 2002 I started my own business with the name Centipede. From that moment on I offer my services to the public. My goal is to build a name for myself in the field of art. When I get an assignment I write a quotation first. In this way the client can see how much time I spend on making an artwork and it gives clear insights about the price.

All of the animation was done in Flash using an optical mouse (I didn t have a tablet yet at the time!).
I animated this for inclusion in a film by Sean Jarrett called "California Remix". "Victory Remix" screened at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival / Animation Attack! and at ASIFA-Atlantas "Roll Yer Own", as well as at the HENT Project at Eyedrum. The incredible music is from Oh Nos album "The Disrupt Chronicles".
