Working Instructors

Kyle has worked in the industry since 2005, on films and commercials including Horton Hears a Who and Ice Age 3 at Blue Sky Studios, Big Hero 6 at WDAS, The Angry Birds Movie, Smurfs: The Lost Village, and Pixels at Imageworks, and was an animator at Pixar Canada for 3 years on several Toy Story and Cars Toons, such as Partysaurus Rex, Small Fry, Air Mater, and others. Recently, he worked for 7 years at Pixar in Emeryville, California, working on Coco, Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Onward, Luca, Lightyear, Inside Out 2, as well as Auntie Edna, Dug Days, Carl's Date, and Dream Productions. Outside of film, Kyle has worked on various commercials and projects at studios in New York, including Nathan Love, Framestore NY, Psyop, and Charlex. When greeting Kyle, it's best to speak "Well, well, well..." in a snide and condescending tone, communicating a wholly unwarranted skepticism. This greeting works best in his natural habitat, such as when approaching from a distance in a long studio hallway, appearing unexpectedly from behind, or standing hidden behind the wall or large tree as he turns a corner. However, it has been known to be an effective way to put him at ease over Zoom and video communication, as he adapts to the changing landscape of the 21st Century.
