(SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.) - Tim Pixton, animator for the new Incredible Hulk movie and God of War video game, will give a presentation 12:30 p.m. Saturday, April 26 at the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire.

“Since the Incredible Hulk isn’t even released yet, our attendees will be among the first to have an insiders’ view into this film,” said Santosh Oommen, academic director for Animation & Media Arts and Graphic Design at the Art Institute of California-Inland Empire. “We have Emmy award-winning feature film animators as instructors, and also expose our animation students to inside views into some of today’s hottest animation from leading animators.”

“Come join us as Tim Pixton takes us to the journey of his work and what it takes to begin a journey as an animator,” Oommen added. “He will talk about working on the Incredible Hulk at Rhythm and Hues as a character animator. He will also talk about what it takes to be a 3d character animator on feature films.”

Other films Pixton has worked on, and will discuss as well, are The Golden Compass and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Pixton has also worked on El Tigre, which is a television show on Nickelodeon, and he has had a stint as a character animator on the God of War game at Sony Games.
