Todd Sheridan Perry works in the film industry as a freelance visual effects supervisor/artist as well as a screenwriter, editor, and director. Perry is a classically trained artist as well as both a traditional and digital animator. His diverse background in video games, film and television has led him to play key roles in projects ranging from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers to most recently 2012 and Sherlock Holmes. He has been animating since he was around 8 years old after being inspired seeing Star Wars, but his professional career began when he moved to Los Angeles in 1995. A couple years later, riding the wave as visual effects migrated from optical to digital, he started visual effects house Max Ink Cafe with producer Jennifer Champagne. They worked together for over a decade to produce visual effects, full CG animation, and films (both short and feature). Champagne and Perry still consult with one another on a variety of projects. He has been awarded an Emmy for his work on the mini-series, The Triangle, while working with Award winning supervisors Volker Engel and Marc Weigert. He was also nominated for a Visual Effects Society Award for The Kite Runner while working with CafeFX. Perry writes for both Animation Magazine and Digital Media Net, reviewing both software and hardware used in the visual effects industry, which keeps him abreast of the developing technologies that contribute to visual effects that he feels are supplanting the "movie star" as the reason people go see blockbusters. Todd received his BFA at Pacific Lutheran University with an emphasis in 2-dimensional media, which included illustration, painting, photography and digital media. Animation and visual effects training came from internships in Seattle with Terry Tennyson for character animation and Charlie Canfield at Alpha Cine for optical effects. He resides in Seattle, WA focusing on writing and developing film projects, making frequent trips to his other residence in Venice, CA to consult on visual effects projects.
