S04E01: David Burgess — Love What You Do

If you were to ask David Burgess about being involved in two of the three films that are considered “game changers” in modern animation history, he’ll chalk it up to luck but in reality, it’s a combination of hard work and a willingness to take chances: moving to Toronto after college without a job lined up, moving to LA without a job lined up, leaving Disney for the new world of CG. David has always worked and been motivated by the concept of loving what you do and his career is a testament to his love of creativity, energy, and new challenges. A veteran of the industry with 30+ years of experience, David has worked on some of the biggest movies of our generation including Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Shrek 2, and Trolls. We recently had a chance to speak with him about his career, taking chances, and how technology has changed how he works.
