About me

Mike Hogue is a classically trained Animator and Artist.

He was a part of the Character Animation department on 3 Animated Feature Films for 20th Century Fox, including "Anastasia" and "Titan A.E". He was a Cinematic Computer Animator on a Nintendo Video Game.

He is the main Animator on Michel Gagne’s "Insanely Twisted Shadow Puppet" stories, which were selected out of thousands of entries to be shown at the event screening of the 2006 "Siggraph" Computer Animation and Innovation Festival. These shorts became the foundation for what would become Michel Gagne's "Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet" Video Game.

Mike Hogue is also known in the tech community for his regular guest appearances on G4 Tech-TV's popular technology show "Call for Help" hosted by Leo Laporte. For several years on this show, Mike taught viewers how to Design and Animate in Adobe "Flash" Software.

He has used Flash to animate all the characters in the first two seasons of "Pucca", as well as the new "George of the Jungle", and "Being Ian" Cartoon Series... as well as other popular Television Shows.

He is currently Compositing Complex Surfing Scenes, Animating Characters, Creating Effects, and Design Work on the new animated Surfing Cartoon called "Stoked" which airs on the Cartoon Network, and Teletoon in Canada.

He uses Flash to design unique artwork, and for personal projects like his animated character, "Jinx the Black Cat" and the Online Web-Comic, "Newt and John".
