Introduction

Welcome and thanks for visiting my web site. My name is Jim Jagger and I am an animator in the video game industry. During the last few years I have been part of many projects, including the Tony Hawk, Neverwinter Nights, Splinter Cell and King Kong video games.

My love for animation began at the age of six when I fell under the spell of Disney's 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'. As a teenager, I animated as a hobby and though it has become my career, it has never ceased to provide the enjoyment and fulfillment it did as a youth.

My addiction to video games spawned the day I discovered Pong but it was not until I received my first computer (Acorn Electron) at the age of seven that my obsession really took hold. Twenty years later, my addiction is as strong as ever. My latest fix includes 'Shadow of the Colossus', 'Guitar Hero' and 'Mario 64 DS'.
