DISNEY \/<br \/>\nSmall-time con artist Nick Wild, who happens to be a fox. Flash and Priscilla, the slowest-moving sloths at a very slow-moving licence bureau. And a tattooed demigod named Maui.It\u2019s been a big year for animated films and for Trent Correy. The Ottawa animator worked on Zootopia and Moana, two Disney films nominated for Golden Globe Awards, which will be handed out on Jan. 8.The demigod Maui\u2019s tattoos come alive in the \u2018You\u2019re Welcome\u2019 scene in Moana. DISNEY \/ APOscar nominations will be released Jan. 24, and both films are already getting buzz. Correy, who is back home for the holidays, is not playing favourites. \u201cI love both these movies,\u201d he says.Correy grew up sketching and drawing cartoons. His favourite animation was in the films of the Disney renaissance that began 1989 with The Little Mermaid and\u00a0led to Aladdin, the Lion King and Toy Story.At Hillcrest High School, he took Grade 9 art, then quit before he was\u00a0persuaded to pick up a course called \u201ccommunications technologies.\u201d By early Grade 12, with some prodding from his teacher, Correy was thinking about taking his interest in art and filmmaking and marrying the two in animation. He applied to Algonquin College\u2019s animation program.The first two years of the three-year course focused on technical subjects like life drawing. In the third year, the students produce a short animated film.Correy felt he was one of the weaker artists in the program and had to push himself. \u201cNot a lot of schools teach hand-drawn animation anymore. It\u2019s such as good, fundamental way to learn.\u201dOttawa has a vibrant animation community \u2014 Correy estimates 2,000 people work in the field in the city. His first job was at Ottawa\u2019s Mercury Filmworks, where he worked one summer on a children\u2019s series about a pair of pigs called Toot and Puddle. After graduation, Correy returned to Mercury where he spent two years, eventually moving into storyboarding.He moved to Vancouver in December 2010 and worked for Sony on The Smurfs. It was the first time he worked with computer animation. Correy still doesn\u2019t consider himself to be a technician, even though he works at a computer all day. \u201cI love the drawing aspect. The computer is just another tool, like a pencil. \u201d\u00a0Correy first applied to Disney in 2008, setting his sights on the talent development program, an apprenticeship for recent graduates that attracts as many as 1,000 applicants a year.\u00a0\u201cI always wanted to work at Disney, not Pixar or DreamWorks. It was always Disney animation for me,\u201d he says.Correy sent off demo reel after demo reel. \u201cI applied every time they posted a job. Maybe it was borderline harassment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/ottawacitizen.com\/news\/local-news\/ottawa-animator-draws-on-a-good-heart-and-a-good-story\">Ottawa animator draws on \u2018a good heart and a good story\u2019 | Ottawa Citizen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Event: On March 6 &amp; 7th, Disney animator Trent Correy (a former student) will be leading a 2 day celebration<\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a class=\"myButt \" href=\"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/2017\/02\/05\/time-get-animated-one-month-manijam-w-disneys-trent-correy\/\">DIVE IN<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,205],"tags":[108,109,110,111,87,429,113,119,38,127,137,139,79,152,154,82,403,156,157,201,407,160,162,172],"class_list":["post-2511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animation","category-workshops","tag-pbl","tag-sislerhighschool","tag-sislerhs","tag-winnipegsd","tag-animation-high-school","tag-animation-jam","tag-animation-school","tag-coding","tag-disney","tag-film-school","tag-idm","tag-innovative-high-school","tag-manitoba","tag-project-based-learning","tag-sisler","tag-sisler-high-school","tag-sisleridm","tag-steam","tag-stem","tag-talk","tag-trent-correy","tag-winnipeg","tag-winnipeg-school-division","tag-workshop"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sislercreate.com\/Animation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
