It is imperative that all parties involved, from writers, artists, editors, production people to executives, agree on the vision and goals of the project. Decide where the bar is together to avoid the common pitfalls.
​
Earlier in my career, animation was split into typecast categories (action, wacky comedy, prime time) but I enjoyed jumping in and out of each to get a more well-rounded experience. As media continues to evolve, ALL of those skills, along with character development, cinematography and heartfelt dramatic moments, are necessary to create modern, impactful animated projects.
​
In an industry that bred a "sink or swim" culture, there were few people who took the time to mentor me. But those who did made a difference and continue to impact me today. From very early on, teaching has been the most important and fulfilling part of my job. Not only do I care to pay forward the kindness I received, but I believe that creating a team of hardworking, reliable people is the best way to make a quality show.

Mural Project 2010-2014
Shaunt worked with Valley View Elementary School and The California Institute of Contemporary Arts to create the four year long Mural Project.  Childrens' original artwork was scanned, laid out and colored in photoshop, then projected onto the wall.  Parents and kids penciled the lines in and marked the colors (like paint by numbers) at which point the kids grabbed their paintbrushes and finished the mural!  This project brought the community together, beautified the school and remains one of Shaunt's most proud contributions.
