Meet E.J. Lucas. He is the new animator for Facing Sudan.
As many of you know, we are creating several sequences of animation for the film. I thought that animation would provide a stylized element to the film as well as providing a visual for events for which we have no footage. The animation, I think, will truly add a different dimension to the stories being told in Facing Sudan.
E.J. contacted me this summer after reading an article in the local newspaper about the animation that we were attempting. I knew EJ; he was a student of mine several years ago. He is a recent graduate of the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago with a degree in animation. His style is exactly what we were looking for.
EJ is a welcome addition to the film and his work will truly add a unique element to the film.
"I am very excited to be a part of this project," he said. "And hope that my contributions will bring more attention to the cause."
Below you can view a short animation clip that EJ has on his demo reel.
