Todd DeJong 26800 Degas Lane, CA, 91355 USA (661) 312 3344 dejongart@gmail.com Objective: The sole reason I chose animation was to make a career of doing something I enjoy and find intellectually stimulating. This is where my artistic integrity would inevitably lie. My venture in study of animation will create an environment in which I am surrounded by other animators that share the same interests. For me, this creates a healthy competitive and collaborative environment that will help me sooner reach my goal of working in the industry. The greatest gift I could ask for within my lifetime is to be able to animate for a living, carry on the traditions of animation, and help push the art form to an unimagined quality. To me, character animation cuts to the core of what I care most about within art as a whole. Anything I wish to express reveals its greatest potential when I animate.
