Creating Paper Puppets For Animation

Megan got her first big break at Cartoon Network Studios in 2004. She was hired to art direct an animated paper sculpture music video for Andre Benjamin’s "Class of 3000".  Since that time, she's created paper sculpture pieces for various Walt Disney Imagineering projects (Amusement parks & Disney Cruise Lines), Nickelodeon Studios YO GABBA GABBA, United Airlines HEART commercial, and Dreamworks Animation MADAGASCAR 2 end credits.  In 2013 Megan collaborated with her husband Shannon Tindle in creating the paper character designs for his Laika Studios film KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS (2015). 

After that project she worked on a team creating practical elements for a highbred television commercial, and collaborated with comedian Gregg Turkington to create his NEIL HAMBERGER: STILL DWELLING album cover.  In 2019 she worked on three dimensional conceptual costume designs for the Miziker Entertainment group.  Megan has also taught and shared her knowledge about paper sculpture at various conferences and schools around the world.  This is Megan's second time participating in the View Conference.
