Summary
My name is Chris Barrett, throughout my life I have been in a perpetual chase for all things animation, it is this drive to tell stories and build characters that has brought me to where I am today. As an art director I was able to partake in all aspects of this amazing process, from script writing all the way to compositing, and I have been lucky to work on projects for such companies as Lego, Hasbro, and Scholastic.
