Dermot O' Connor entered the animation industry in 1988, working for Don Bluth's studio in Ireland for five years. During that time he was trained in traditional hand-drawn animation. In the mid-90s he directed CD-ROM interactive titles for Creative Capers Entertainment and Disney Interactive studios, working on such projects as 101 Dalmatians and Timon and Pumbaa. He was introduced to Flash in 2000 and began creating animation for Warner Bros. and Disney in Los Angeles, and Fatkat Animation in Canada.
Dermot is currently completing his own 30-minute short film, completely animated with Flash.
