The idea for Stage’D was born on the train home from work when Eric, Aaron and Ben (the creator of DFilm) decided that creating a 3D update to DFilm could probably be cranked out in short order over a weekend (thereby allowing time for beer) and would be reasonably fun to do. Naturally, they turned out to be wildly incorrect about the former, fortunately accurate about the latter. Being that they were comic and theater nerds, it quickly became obvious that these important influences should become some of the key components of Stage’D.

About the Crew:

Eric is an Animator, Illustrator and Digital Tinkerer by compulsion. His is a long and harrowing tale of education at a local state university where he attempted every known medium of animation within his first year. Coincidentally, this turned out to be the same year he decided that the need for sleep was a grand conspiracy theory–and he would not be fooled. After barely surviving the gauntlet that is the animation emphasis program, he was booted out of the academic arena into the underpaid and more computery world of the tech start-up.

It was while sailing in that sea of acronyms and initialisms–through gales of buzzwords–that he encountered the people and ideas that led to Stage’D. He now works as a freelance Animator and Interactive Designer, and manages to squeeze in a little time for Stage’D whenever he can. His portfolio is available here if any are interested in working with him.

Aaron.….(coming soon!)
