Most of the commercials that we made were reworks of the same basic set of commercials just for different clients so we would change the art slightly and use different backgrounds and voice-overs.大部分的商业广告，我们所作出的reworks的同时，一套基本的商业只为不同的客户，所以我们会改变艺术略和使用不同的背景和语音overs 。 It was a real low budget operation which was great because I was eager to learn and I was cheap labor and they let me do some of everything.这是一个真正的低预算运作，这是伟大的，因为我渴望了解和我是廉价劳动力和他们让我做一些的一切。
I got the job by offering to work for free just to learn.我得到了项目，通过提供工作，免费只是为了学习。 My work was good enough that I got hired for a couple of dollars per hour.我的工作是不够好，我得到聘用，一对夫妇美元每小时。 It was great experience but not a way to get rich by any means, so I had to do other jobs as well and then went on to college to study engineering because I liked to eat regularly and needed a “real” career.这是伟大的经验，但没有一种方式先富起来以任何手段，所以我不得不做其他工作，以及接着就上大学，以研究工程，因为我喜欢吃的定期和需要一个“真正的”职业生涯。
Did you go to school to learn how to become an animator? 你去上学，以了解如何成为一个漫画家呢？

Is Toon Boom your first foray into digital animation? 香椿是你的第一个繁荣进军数码动画？
If not, what was?如果没有，是什么呢？ No, I started using Flash in 2002.不，我开始使用Flash在2002年。 I was able to produce OK work but was frustrated at the non-animator centric approach of Flash and decided that TBS was a better fit to my way of thinking.我是能够产生确定的工作，但感到很失望，在非漫画家为中心的做法， Flash和决定，东京广播公司是一个更适合我的思维方式。 I started with TBS 1.0 on the Mac but found it to be lacking in many areas and stuck with Flash until TBS 3.0 which I finally decided was a better product than Flash MX2004, so I made the big switch.我开始与东京广播公司1.0在Mac ，但发现它缺乏在许多领域和坚持与Flash 3.0汤匙，直到我最后决定是一个更好的产品比闪存mx2004 ，所以我作出了很大的开关。 It was a very good decision.这是一个很好的决定。
How difficult did you find the transition from traditional to digital animation? 多么困难您找到过渡从传统到数码动画？
Not difficult at all, I had the advantage of being an engineer and having spent years in computer systems design and software development I was very comfortable with computers and using software.并不难，在所有，我有优势，作为一个工程师和花了几年在计算机系统设计和软件开发，我感到非常舒适，与电脑和使用软件。 Also being self-taught but classically trained in animated film making, the metaphor for TBS was easy to understand and I had learned film editing a few years earlier on a non-linear editing software, Final Cut Pro, so the time line concept was not new to me.也正在自学，但在训练有素的经典动画电影制作，比喻为东京广播公司是很容易理解的，我学会了剪接几年前在一个非线形编辑软件， Final Cut Pro中，所以该路线图的时间概念是不新的给我。
