JASON VAN NIEKERK's speciality is character animation. He worked at Triggerfish and Character Matters before joining the RGB and Alpha team.

After graduating from TAS he enrolled in Animation Mentor, and went on to work under the mentorship of some of the animation greats at Pixar, Industrial Light and Magic, Dreamworks and others.

RALPH MORTON has over eight years' experience as a software developer, being skilled in numerous programming languages as well motion capture techniques. He is also a web-developer. His greatest passion, however, is in programming for game development. He is presently writing his own game engine which will ultimately be used in an upcoming game for the XBox 360. His online portfolio can be viewed at www.ralphmorton.net.

RICHARD MORTON, an accomplished modeler in his own right, also handles the CG software development and the technical aspects of productions. After graduating from TAS he started his career at Condor, where he gained extensive experience in commercial and feature films. His ability to custom-design software for use in the studio's projects in hand is integral to the team. For example he is skilled in the use of Massive, which is software for the development of huge virtual crowds, and he has developed a useful system for integrating Massive and Maya. This kind of artistic and technical synergy results in a supremely well organised pipeline, enhancing the studio's workflow.
