Wreck-it Ralph!!!

I worked for a very short time on Wreck it in Visual Development, but really enjoyed it. So many fantastic artists were in the v-dev team...a very intimidating prospect!!! Both Mike Gabriel and Ian Gooding (art directors on the film) brought really terrific and different sensibilities to the film.  Go see it---its a really fun and really beautiful film. Be sure to look for the art of Ryan Lang, Helen Chen, Jeffrey Turley, Kevin Nelson, Andy Harkness, Brittany Lee, Shiyoon Kim, Minkyu Lee, Lorelay Bove, Scott Watanabe, Mac George, Mike Gabriel,  Ian Gooding, James Finch, Vicky Ying, Justin Cram, Bill Perkins, and Jim Finn.

Tappers Moment. Based on a color key from Andy Harkness. Characters worked with guidance from Bill Schwab. Art direction by Mike Gabriel and Ian Gooding

    He raises so much awareness for special needs pets and when he comes to the Halloween Parade in NYC all decked out he gets so much attention. People tell us they are inspired to help animals and adopt special needs pets after meeting him. He was a death row dog, but he is our little guy now. He made a perfect Ralph! Happy Halloween!
