Biografia
Gary H. Lee was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and moved to the United States at the age of 13. From a very young age, Gary was drawn to art and comic books, and as he got older, he became fascinated by motion pictures and visual effects in films like 'Star Wars,' 'Jurassic Park,' and 'The Matrix.' In high school, he started doing 3D animation on his computer and produced a short film for his high school's video yearbook. At 19, Gary enrolled as an Illustration major student at the Art Center College of Design. At the end of his freshman college year, using his high school short film, he submitted for a job at Lucasfilm. One week later, putting college on hiatus, he started on George Lucas's 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' at the Skywalker Ranch as an Animatic/Pre-visualization artist. Since then, Gary has participated in film productions at major studios such as Lucasfilm, Dreamworks Animation, Fox Studio, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures Animation, and Netflix Animation, on projects such as the 'Star Wars' series, the 'Kung Fu Panda' series, 'Life of Pi,' 'Aquaman,' 'Vivo,' 'The Magician's Elephant,' and the up-and-coming Netflix Animation/Sony Pictures Animation feature, 'K-Pop: Demon Hunters.' Gary has directed two live-action, animation hybrid short films: 'Hector Corp.,' and 'Aden.' These two projects have accumulated over 14 awards in international film festivals. Gary is now a father of two, blessed with new perspectives seeing the world through his children's eyes, which only further fuels his passion for art and storytelling.
