My name is R. Brian Wilson. I am a computer animator with technical, engineering and artistic background as a character animator, primary setup artist and CG artist at Sealund & Associates. I was a draftsman at HSA Engineering, where I was responsible for technical setup, finalizing projects and training new associates. I am a 9 year acting veteran at Busch Gardens’ annual Howl-O-Scream event. A former manager of Mannequin Murals, where I was responsible for designing and painting murals as well as managing 6 other artists. My long-term goal is to be an animation lead on a major motion picture. Short-term, my goal is to improve my demo reel and do whatever it takes to get hired full time into an animation company.
I am critical and analytical, observant, imaginative, artistic, hard on deadlines, a have an artistic, technical and theatrical background.
On a personal level, I’m pretty laid back and am constantly on the move. Right now, I’m juggling three jobs as well as this competition on top of trying to finish up an animated short for the festival season. But I hope there’s never a moment in my life where I can’t step back, take a breath and have a good laugh. I love rollerblading, playing volleyball, jogging (I used to be on the USF track team), and above all coming up with new projects to work on. My projects are my passion, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Congratulations on your well deserved victory. Week in and week out you showed us voters your wide variety of skills in the artistic arena. You carried yourself with poise and confidence during the live judging and enlightened the audience in regards to your creative thinking processes. It was always a pleasure to look forward to seeing what new artistic surprises awaited us. I intend to keep an eye out for the name Brian Wilson when I scan the credits at the end of movies because I won’t be surprised to see your name.
The many voters have spoken and wire to wire, you were the Peoples Choice. As your future unfolds, we look forward to seeing even more of your Creative Genius that this competition gave us a glimpse of.
