Mike Chaffe

I met Mike a few years back while we were working on '9'. Not only is Mike a really great person and animator, but he has this desert dry sense of humor that I find extremely funny.  He and I now work at different companies, but the studios are still close enough so we can occasionally we meet up for lunch to talk shop, or in some cases not talk shop.

One instance Mike was sent to the studio basement to supervise animation in complete seclusion from even his coworkers on some big secret project.  Some of his vague comments about the move south inspired the prison series...

 

Working blind.



On a really hot day the studio bought ice cream for everyone, well almost everyone...
