Scott Trego, Lead Animator

After wondering for 35 years what I wanted to be when I grew up, it hit me (or rather my wife did when we saw a TV ad for the DAVE school). As a way to combine my art background and lifelong interest in special visual effects, I'd become a 3D modeler and animator (easier said than done). It was a huge change from the 10 years I spent in the US Navy.

So I took the plunge and was accepted into The DAVE School in Orlando, Florida. After spending a year learning Lightwave — and then more working on various projects — I am now working with a couple of guys that have inspired me with their creativity and determination. This is the project that I have been looking for to be able to use my skills to bring someone's vision to life.
