Andrew Adamson in Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The (2005)

ANDREW ADAMSON (director/executive producer/co-screenwriter) made his directorial debut with “Shrek,” which won the first Academy Award® presented for Best Animated Feature. He followed up with an Academy Award® nomination for the sequel, “Shrek 2,” which he also co-wrote and directed. “Shrek 2” recently eclipsed “Finding Nemo” as the highest-earning animated film in Hollywood history. Adamson is also collaborating with “Shrek” co-writer Joe Stillman on the screenplay for another animated feature for DreamWorks, currently titled “Truckers,” which Adamson will also direct. “Truckers” is based on Terry Pratchett’s best-selling fantasy trilogy known as The Bromeliad.

Adamson first joined PDI (Pacific Data Images)—now PDI/DreamWorks—in 1991 with an extensive background in visual effects. His credits as a visual effects supervisor with PDI/DreamWorks have included the films “Angels in the Outfield” and “Double Dragon.” He has also worked on the visual effects for such films as “True Lies,” “Heart and Souls” and Barry Levinson’s “Toys” and served as a key member of PDI/DreamWorks’ commercial division on numerous award-winning spots, including Converse’s “Planet Kevin,” Dow’s “Scrubbing Bubbles Greatest Show” and Miller Genuine Draft’s “Juke Box.”

Apart from PDI/DreamWorks, Adamson’s work as a visual effects supervisor includes the features “Batman Forever,” “A Time to Kill” and “Batman & Robin.” He saw his visual effects work on the two “Batman” films short-listed for Oscar® nominations by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Adamson began his career in computer graphics nearly 20 years ago in his native New Zealand, working as a computer animator at a local animation company called The Mouse That Roared. In 1986, he moved on to the post of design director/senior animator at Video Images Ltd., where he worked on a variety of broadcast logos and television commercials.
