My Classmate!

Most of you reading this already know that one of my classmates from State College, Doug Sweetland, is an animator for Pixar. I just saw The Incredibles over the weekend and I loved it. It’s so cool to see his name go by in the credits. From what I remember of him and his art, the film definitely bears his mark! He was in lots of my classes, including art classes in high school. Wherever you are, Doug, it’s so great to see that you’re doing what it seems you always wanted to do… and doing it really well.

Couldn’t find that much about him on IMDB, but he has apparently won some very cool sounding awards. Not really surprising. Actually, surfing around, it looks like he is at the top of his field. Again, not really surprising. I’m so impressed!

Check out the film if you haven’t already.

    Terri - I’m glad you posted this. I haven’t been keeping track of Doug’s career, but whenever he comes to mind I always wonder if he “made it” in animation - and it looks like he has. We still owe him a debt of gratitude for agreeing to “act” in our 8th grade english class video. I hope that video still lives somewhere. Yea! Doug!

    I nearly forgot about that! OK, what was his role again? I just remember that we thought we were quite funny and daring b/c we included the line “No shit, Sherlock” in our vid. :)
