ROB Legend:
Rob Jones grew up on Vancouver Island as the middle brother of 5 boys through the 80's and 90's, watching cartoons and toy commercials! Interests in animation started early, entertaining classmates with flip books created from school textbooks. He was the first kid on his block to own a video camera and would make films starring his action figures.
Interests and involvement in Arts carried into his high school years. Rob was involved in Theater Stage Art and Productions and was even a main cast member for Grease, West Side Story, and Little Shop of Horrors. Rob graduated as High School Valedictorian for Spectrum's class of '99 and traveled to the UK with his best friends.
Post high-school, he enrolled at Vancouver Film School for Classical Animation in 2001, and his animated short film, “Kung Foolery” was screened and nominated at the BC Film Festival, the Santa Clarita Film Festival, and the "Just for Laughs Festival" in Montreal.
After film school, Rob landed his first job in 2D animation at Carbunkle Cartoons, working on Spike TV's, "The Ren and Stimpy Adult Party", The first,and only time he'd use pencils and paper for 2D animation.
That year, he also had his illustrations published for the first time, in the children's book, "George the Moose Goes to School". Rob later became the recipient of the Canadian “Ben Wicks Award” with a $10,000 Prize for his illustrations published by Regional Maple Leaf and distributed in hundreds of schools throughout Canada, as the “Drug Facts For Young People” booklet.
His work after 2005 involved working for a local e-learning company, helping to produce award-winning online educational software and teaching tools for the private education sector.
In 2006, his first fully-produced animated short, "Police Cops" was awarded $10,000 and 2nd place at the iLaugh Shorts Festival.
Rob has spent over a decade in game development, creating 2D digital art and animation which has been viewed by millions of players of social and mobile games.
Rob's also proud of his work with the Vancouver studio, "Jesters Animation", which connected him to various comedy series on YouTube: "Mondo Shorts" channel, and more recently for the popular children's education show "Momolu and Friends".
Rob's own personal projects include, Police Cops, "Corntooth Incorporated", "War of the Wiz", and "The Squatch Watch", all self produced by himself @ "Ten-Four Animation" on YouTube.
