Marc Lougee’s Summary

During the last 20+ years, I’ve worked in television series animation as an animator, sculptor, visual effects supervisor, director, and creative producer. I'm well versed in leading creative teams from pre-viz thru post production. I'm an excellent communicator and have proven people management and creative development abilities. I like to guide by example and have fun in the process.

I'm always on the lookout for opportunities that allow me to build and manage awesome creative teams. I enjoy inspiring and empowering folks, fostering creative innovation and thinking outside of the box to find solutions that make a difference. I like to have a good laugh, work hard, see each project through to finish in the best way possible.

My work as a director blends various technique, from 3D / CGI computer animation to stop -motion and 2D character animation, live action and animation integration, special effects, miniatures, models and visual effects.

I've had the good fortune to be involved in many mixed-media animation productions, including commercial campaigns and broadcast interstitials.

My creative storytelling approach lends itself well to animated television series programming, in short as well as long format and cross-platform. I've directed animation on several series and pilots for MTV, Discovery Kids, Fox Television, Sci Fi Channel, HBO, BBC and the CBC, of which several are currently on-air around the world, including the DiscoveryKids! / BBC’s co-production Dinosapien, MTV’s Celebrity Deathmatch, and the BBC’s Ace Lightning, and the CBC's What It's Like Being Alone, as Episode Director and Creative Producer.

Marc is currently represented for commercial, series and feature work thru WOWHOUSE Pictures in New York.
