Matt Campbell, Detroit area 2D/3D Commercial Animator

"Time was..." the old-timer blurted, "We'd draw our frames on PAPER! Ink-and-paint them 1 by 1 on acetate cel...and shoot them on FILM. Heck, we'd wait 3 days to see it play when it came back from processing."

Who is that graphics crumudgeon? Why, it's ME, Matt Campbell. It Seems like only yesterday I was the eager young apprentice at an animation studio- doing the odd jobs, emptying ash-trays and dumping chemicals in hopes of getting a chance to animate a scene. Fast-forward 25 years...COMPUTER PROGRAMS are now the mechanism for creating animated imagery, the changes I have seen have been swift and constant. A quarter-century of creating custom TV and industrial motion-graphics, illustration and animation- not 'too' crumudgeonly! SEE SAMPLES

Tireman has been a part of Belle Tire advertising since 1922. I have been animating the little guy who only says two words for Atomic Ideas, for the last 6 years. He is energetic, friendly, and full of helpful advice on where to go for auto service.
