Chuck has been working as a professional in the field of Animation since 1996. Having completed his MFA in film production at the University of Southern California; Chuck has worked for Disney, Nickelodeon Studios, Film Roman, as well as various other animation studios.

About the Production

Oliver's Treasure revisits the world of Chuck Grieb's earlier film, Roland's Trouble, introducing Roland's (one day to be) best bud and confidant, Sir Oliver. Oliver, our hero, finds himself on the run; but overly confident and easily distracted, he becomes curious about a special item he has discovered in the room in which he has hid. A storyboard was drawn, the film was timed, characters prepared, and environments modeled. Rebecca Norris provided the wonderful original score. Oliver's Treasure was storyboarded in TV Paint, the animation was created using Autodesk Maya and Mudbox, composited in Adobe After Effects, with post production being completed in Adobe Premiere.
