Alan Ruivivar Lopez

More than 22 years of experience in the animation industry, 2 years as inbetweener in his early career and since 1996 has been a traditional 2D animator doing projects for such big names as Disney, Warner Bros., DIC, Marvel, Saban, just to name a few. Beginning 2002 he got aboard the flash training program of the Philippine Animation Studio Inc. (PASI) at the end of which he started his new career as Flash animator working on various TV series produced all over the world mostly from Canada and the U.S. By 2009, after 15 years in the Philippine animation scene he moved on to his new home at Vision Animation Malaysia where his position as Animation Supervisor provided him a venue to show his skills in handling episodes and in leading animators to provide the quality needed for the show. By 2010, having supervised "Flea-Bitten" which was a 26 episode half hour show, he was finally entrusted the role of overall Animation Director on "Shezow" (11X52), followed by Hasbro's "Rescuebots" Season 2 (26 episodes) and the current "KuuKuu Harajuku" (11X52) produced by Gwen Stefani which is now on it's 2nd season with a 3rd scheduled for production in 2016. Other than Animation Directing some of his roles include reviewing and approving character designs, reviewing and advising on scripts and doing storyboard revisions and animatics for the show. Realizing the growing need for homegrown animators with world class talent he initiated the flash animation training program. Today Vision Animation has grown in size and competitiveness on a par with the best studios in Asia and the rest of the world.
