South Park Animator Joins 精品SM在线影片 Next
When South Park joined Comedy Central鈥檚 lineup more than 20 years ago, Eric Stough (Film鈥95) was the first person hired by creators Trey Parker (A&S ex鈥93) and Matt Stone (Art, Math鈥93).
He鈥檚 never looked back.
Now producer and lead animator for the taboo-shattering animated satire, Stough has won five Emmys and a Peabody Award for his work 鈥 and stands as the inspiration for the beloved character 鈥淏utters.鈥
In April, at the second installment of 精品SM在线影片 Next 鈥 the university鈥檚 large-scale, multiyear road show 鈥 Stough regaled the Washington, D.C., audience with tales of his days at CU (where Parker encouraged him to join the film department) through the present day, in which South Park-themed mobile and console games are part of American culture.
鈥淎ll facets of my life echo the foundation given to me by CU,鈥 he said during the conference鈥檚 closing remarks.
