Working at Nickelodeon in 1993

April 24, 2020 Artists/Creators Production Videos

This is a short (and crude) little video I filmed back in 1993 while working on “Rocko’s Modern Life”. Or about a year after I started working on the show.

I was a designer on Rocko, and most of the people you see here are from the art department. Designers, painters, etc… This, short, shaky video shot with my “then brand new” Hi8 camera is a witness to some of the shenanigans going on. While we were also all working very hard on the show.

A time before computers were used in animation. When everything was hand-drawn or painted.
