| Karin Nestor 2D/3D Character Animator (3D StudioMax) Hailing from the tiny town of Denville, New Jersey, Karin dismissed the lure of the gritty New York City streets and ventured west to join the shiny, happy Sierra family in 1991. She was plucked fresh off the vine upon graduating from the ivy-league establishment of The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, Inc in beautiful Dover, New Jersey, with an impressive degree in cinematic animation. A naïve and over-trusting waif, she was thrust into the dark, seething underbelly of the company, where she was forced to gather raw materials in the vast pixel mines which belie the building in Oakhurst. Much to her dismay, the division would later change its moniker to Yosemite Entertainment in attempts to skirt several pending lawsuits from former, sickly employees laden with crampetorium of the fingers, daytime blindness and translucent skin as result of excessive hours of being exposed to only the waning glow of their own monitors. Enduring years of back-breaking labor, she has helped the company produce several award-winning titles such as Ecoquest 1, King’s Quest 6 & 7, Space Quest 6, Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist, SWAT 1 and Lighthouse, to name a few. For nearly the past two years she has been working round the clock animating her little heart out on Quest for Glory 5: Dragonfire. She only hopes that she can one day emerge from this painful, yet educational experience and chase her dream of becoming a multilingual Balinese fire juggler or a rocket scientist. She hasn’t decided which just yet. Karin is a graduate of the acclaimed Joe Kubert School of Animation |
