Josh Prikryl Interview: Voltron: The Third Dimension & Voltron Force CG Animator/Producer

Marc and Greg reach back to Voltron: The Third Dimension and Voltron Force for an interview with Josh Prikryl, Owner of Overseas Virtual, LLC. Josh worked on Voltron: The Third Dimension as a CG Animator and on Voltron Force as a CG Producer. Josh gives a lot of insight about the groundbreaking CG and Motion Capture work done on Voltron: The Third Dimension and the challenges of combining 2D and 3D animation in Voltron Force.

Josh Prikryl has worked with a wide variety of cg production companies and pipelines around the globe as a leader, including such productions as "Jakers!", "Bratz", and "Bionicle". He is credited on multiple features and videogame titles including "Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure" and "Turok: Dinosaur Hunter".

As Overseas Animation Supervisor with Mike Young Productions, he faced the challenge of working on five animated tv productions in three countries, and delivered all of the episodes on-time.

Presently, Josh is CG Producer at Overseas Virtual. Their website is http://overseasvirtual.com/
