His first animation assignment teamed him with ILM’s academy award winning artists to inhabit Will Smith’s MTV Award-winning music video “Men In Black” with a dancing alien from Barry Sonnenfeld’s blockbuster motion picture. Following this early success, Robert has been fortunate to direct scores of animation assignments for clients’ Universal Studios, Columbia Pictures, Kraft, Reese’s, Proctor & Gamble, Sony, Sun Microsystems and Clorox.
