Kevin Clarke has joined Flipside Editorial, San Francisco, as senior animator. Already at his new roost, he has worked on several spots, including Clorox, Quicken.com and Disney Interactive.
Clarke comes to Flipside from Lunarfish, San Francisco, where he worked on animation projects for The Game Show Network as well as numerous corporate IDs.
Clarke began his digital career as an independent artisan working in emerging media, including 2-D and 3-D imaging for CD-ROM games such as Broderbunds The Last Express. Clarke ventured into video and broadcast work in 97 with Digital Consortium, San Francisco, where he worked on projects including video game cinematics as well as legal animation used in the first state case (Florida) to prosecute the tobacco industry. His grasp of the latest technological advances was brought to the fore at Imagination Plantation, San Francisco (which later became part of the Wild Brain animation studio, also in San Francisco). There he was lead animator on the Starship Troopers CD-ROM for Micropros and several installations in Berkeley Systems You Dont Know Jack game series.
While at Imagination Plantation, Clarke was also instrumental in beta testing and bringing to market Alias Wavefronts Maya, one of the newest and most advanced of the 3-D software products in use today.
