Stop-motion Reel:
When Voltaire was 10-years old, he was inspired by the original King Kong and the films of Ray Harryhausen to picked up a super 8 camera and begin making stop-motion films. At seventeen he ran away from home and found his way to Manhattan. There he was hired as a stop-motion animator by various production companies and began working as an animator on national TV commercials. By nineteen he was directing them. Here is just a small collection of some of those award-winning spots.
