Ryan Woodward Animation


Today's Google Doodle celebrates what would have been the 117th birthday of dancer/choreographer Martha Graham. Chat with the Doodle's creator, "motiongrapher" Ryan Woodward, about creating the Doodle, working with Google, and his other work, which includes two of the "Spider Man" films, "Iron Man 2" and more.
Ryan Woodward began his career in 1995 as an animator, designer, and storyboard artist for major motion pitcures. He has worked on films such as Space Jam, The Iron Giant, Osmosis Jones, Spider-man 2&3, Where the Wild Things Are, Ironman 2, Cowboys and Aliens(2011) and The Avengers(2012). Ryan has also directed and animated several independent short films such as the contemporary dance piece, Thought of You and The Turtle and the Shark. He is currently an professor of animation at Brigham Young University and loves finding artistic inspiration through his family and long bike rides!
