Chris Prynoski, Titmouse, United States of America

Speaker:

Abstract: Chris Prynoski, known throughout the animation community as Chris P., is the founder and president of Titmouse, one of the most prolific, independent, Emmy Award-winning animation studios in business today, leading the charge in support of unprecedented and explosive growth in episodic 2D/CG animation. Just a few of the hugely popular shows they produce are Big Mouth, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Bless the Harts, The Midnight Gospel, and Tigtone. The animation industry’s tremendous production expansion is not just fueled by traditional broadcasters like FOX, Cartoon Network / Adult Swim and Nickelodeon, but by leading streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and HBO Max, as well as more niche streamers like Crunchyroll and Syfy’s adult animation block, TZGZ. And the medium of 2D/CG provides an almost unlimited design palette from which creators can run wild. In this “1 on 1” discussion, Chris talks about his studio’s rich history embracing practically every 2D/3D/CG/VR technology they’ve gotten their hands on, and how they embrace and leverage that animation production technology to tell great stories for kids aged 3 to 83.
