D E PA R T M E N T 51 KEYFRAME SUMMER 2019 29 A self-proclaimed wandering hippie, CUMMINGS started as a cel painter. His career has spanned different roles, including animator, FX artist, sheet timer, and sequence director in both feature film and television, culminating in a 2005 Annie Award for Best Directing, shared with Shaun Cashman, for Grim & Evil. HUTTEN started his career in the early '60s at a small studio in Colorado before ending up at Terrytoons in New York. After a year there, he called Joe Barbera, who fronted him the money to buy a plane ticket to Los Angeles and meet. After a decade at Hanna-Barbera, he opened his own union studio, working as a creator, producer, director, animator and animation director. Taught by her mother, Manon Washburn, a master inker, WASHBURN learned to paint cels as a teenager. She has travelled the world— from London to Minnesota, Dublin to Taipai—in pursuit of her animation career, working as a checker and continuity supervisor for Sullivan Bluth, Universal, Marvel, Warner Bros. and more. PHILLIPSON started in the mailroom at Hanna- Barbera in 1968. He quickly got promoted to the editorial department and then worked in layout and background. In 1983, he began a 20-year run at Disney Feature Animation painting on such classics as The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and more.
