In 2005, I moved to Austin, Texas to work as a rotoscope animator for the film A Scanner Darkly. In 2020, another Richard Linklater film came my way. This time in was the Netflix film Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood. I worked from my home office on a giant Wacom Cintiq Pro tablet, and met with my team through Zoom. It was a surreal experience. Here are images from the film:
