Introduction

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

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 obsession with games spawned the day I discovered Pong but it was not until I received an Acorn Electron around the age of seven that my passion really took hold. Some twenty five years later, my addiction is as strong as ever. My latest fix includes Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction. For a full review of what I've been playing please see here.

Listed below are some of the games that I have been fortunate to work on;
