That’s Perry Harovas in a sound studio at World Wrestling Entertainment Headquarters in Connecticut. Perry does animation and VFX for WWE, but I know him from when we were colleagues in Chicago at Flashpoint Media Arts Academy. Perry was the founding chair of the VFX program the
We talk about his Greek heritage, how Star Wars was a huge influence, his high school Latin teacher, and what it was like to start a college. It was a great chat, and good to see him again.
