Tom Gasek started his 25 year professional experience with a student Academy Award in 1979. Many awards and frames since then, Gasek formed OOH, Inc. (a.k.a. Out Of Hand Animation) which primarily produces commercial work for clients like Hallmark, The Japanese Red Cross and The Michigan Lottery. Last year, he was hired as the consultant for a pre-school stop-motion animated series for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Halifax, Nova Scotia called "Poko." Before forming OOH, Inc. in 1999, Gasek directed and animated for such prestigious studios as Olive Jar Studios, Will Vinton Productions, his own "Sculptoons" and "Suspended Animation", and Aardman Animations in Bristol, England. At Aardman's, Gasek directed and animated numerous commercials, animated on Nick Park's "The Wrong Trousers" and was a guest key animator on "Chicken Run." Presently, Tom is earning his M.F.A. from the Art Institute of Boston while simultaneously co-directing an animated series for Mattel.
