Jack LoPresti - Animator and Film Maker
Words from Jack-
"Hi, my name is Jack LoPresti I'm a stop motion and digital design animator, cinematographer, screen writer and film maker. I'm 26 at the time of writing this and frankly I love to create interesting stories and dynamic and fun animations. I've worked with people who- whether of high or low popularity or "worth" as it's called- I really don't want to let down, and often push myself to achieve the best work I can possibly go for based on the designs, storyboards and notes of people who commission me for my work. I'm a happy camper who just wants to help you make stuff, so I can make stuff. Simple as that for Simple Jack...... :D !"
My History
"I grew up in Harrington Park New Jersey watching cartoons like Ben 10, Batman the Animated Series and Spider-man, as well as Justice League and Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes among others. I also just liked to play with action figures and legos, coming up with my own stories and playing characters in my head. I'd read books on animation and stop motion when given the chance as well as play around on apps as I got older. But then eventually, I decided to make more investments in this as a career as I got older. Why throw out old toys when you can use them for entertainment. It's like playing in front of an audience without having to make the sound effects with your mouth"
I grew up along side a twin brother, my two sisters (one oldest and youngest adopted from China) and my parents, my dad gave me my sense of humor, along with my Grandma Patricia who gave me my love for art and color. My mom was always paranoid of danger growing up and was actually a horseback rider in her youth, so almost predictably, we always had Great Danes in the family. Big dogs for big hugs. *(With other dogs at times like my Cavalier- Charlie, god rest his soul)*
