It seems like it was practically just a few years ago that I was living Los Angeles, California, commuting on the freeway and working on "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I left that project upon the completion of my tasks to join in setting up an art school at a technological university in Singapore. It was a good respite from years of production work in "Hollywood." Not that I disliked working in the visual effects and animation industry, quite the contrary. After working in computer animation for the past 25 years, first in Los Angeles, then overseas in Tokyo, in New York and finally returning to Los Angeles in 1995, entering corporate animation production (and salary) was a great opportunity to do interesting work with teams of talented people from many different backgrounds: artists, animators, software developers, research scientists and of course experienced and capable producers. Though production work was engaging particularly in situations where we were developing pipelines and techniques, there is a limit to how many times I could do the same or similar thing and find it interesting. Though I did live and work in Tokyo years earlier I had not considered the possibility pursuing my interests in South East Asia until I looked at the broader scope of career opportunities in an academic and research environment.
