Having over 30 years of experience in the computer animation industry, Tim Cheung has been helping lead some of the most talented production teams in both North America and in Asia over the past decade.
In 1995 Tim Cheung joined Pacific Data Images, what then became PDI/Dreamworks, and has since worked on their first animated movie “Antz,” then “Shrek,” “Shrek 2,” and finally “Shrek the Third” in 2007. During this time, Cheung quickly rose from the ranks as an animator, all the way to Head of Character Animation, supervising “Shrek 2” and “Shrek the Third,” and helping manage and lead the animation teams at Dreamworks Animation. He was also instrumental in helping develop the animation pipeline and the animation software, working closely with the R&D team to evolve the animation technology.
In 2007 Cheung decided to bring his Hollywood experience back home to Hong Kong and join Imagi Studios as Vice President of Animation, working on the CGI animated film “Astro Boy,” and helping lead and manage a team of over 400 animators.
Cheung is also Executive Advisor for the Taiwan animation studio CGCG Inc., helping them on various high profile TV animated series, and has also been consulting and developing other animated feature film projects in China.
In 2014 Cheung founded DoubleBlink Studios with teams in China, Vietnam and Indonesia, to serve the overwhelming needs of quality animation production in Asia. The studio trains and develops local talent to work on various animation projects that require high quality animation.
