I was lucky enough to have an all expenses paid stay in Sydney Australia for four months working on Happy Feet for Animal Logic. It's about singing and dancing penguins and in case you haven’t heard about it… it’s the one that won the Oscar!

by Michael Cawood September 18, 2014 in

Red vs Blue: Season 10

by Michael Cawood March 15, 2010 in
I returned to Rooster Teeth for another stint on Red vs Blue, this time kicking off the new Maya department for Season 10.

by Michael Cawood March 21, 2005 in
