Gary Ye, Supervising Director, SyFy
Gary Ye is the Supervising Director for Devil May Care at Titmouse Inc. He's been a BG Designer, Compositor, and Storyboard Artist during his time in the animation industry, working on shows for Dreamworks TV, CBS, Titmouse Inc and Atomic Cartoons. He's also done work for a variety of smaller projects, including creating animated bumpers for Adult Swim, and most recently storyboards for the opening titles of "The Last Kids on Earth", and boards on the music video for "Robbed" (Manila Luzon ft. Latrice Royal). He spends his free time making short films, a few of which have somehow screened internationally at festivals like Annecy, SXSW and TAAFI.
As a human being, he's a trash man with trash tastes who's way too into internet horror.
