I’m Todd Shaffer, a writer and director with over 30 years in animation and film. I’ve tackled a wide range of projects—features, series, commercials, game cinematics—working in 2D, 3D, live-action, motion capture, and stop-motion.
I directed the 2D animation for Warner Bros.’ The Day the Earth Blew Up, Disney’s Disenchanted, and a sequence in Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Disney+.
I wrote and directed the 3D productions of The Promise: Birth of the Messiah and Prodigal the Musical for Glorious Films, plus Young Avraham for Big Bang Digital Studios.
As a screenwriter I sold five screenplays and wrote lyrics for 28 songs across two musicals.
As an animation supervisor, I’ve overseen projects like Warner Bros.’
Space Jam: A New Legacy, two episodes of Netflix’s Green Eggs & Ham, Central Park Season 1 for Apple TV, HBO Max’s New Looney Tunes shorts, and a few episodes of Animaniacs.
Recently, I took a leap into generative AI to craft a trailer for a western feature film screenplay that I wrote, blending new tech with my decades of animation experience.
I also hosted and produced 4 podcasts that total 113 episodes.
