Since 1986, Barry has directed and animated some 70 commercials, title sequences, animation inserts for films and pop promos.
Also Barry has done numerous TV interviews, animation training courses, documentaries and regular articles for magazines, books and the Internet.

I'm very interested but will be teaching class during most of that time slot. Thanks for posting this. I'd get the class into it, but that period is English, not multimedia (of which I have two periods).

There's a little biker in all of us...

Might be a good project starter? Remember, Barry is a writer and that is directly linked to English. He is currently writing a feature film script amoung other things.

Think about it :)
