Robert Anderson's Blog

Rob has worked in the field of entertainment since the age of 16 when in 1982 he got his first paid gig as a Production Assistant for the National Film Board of Canada. Since then he has been a Production Manager/Producer on close to 700 episodes of broadcast shows. His next big venture into the world of entertainment is the creation of Flash Games. 


Some info on Rob:

First board game played, Clue at age 6. Destroyed the  competition. My cat.

First D&D adventure, 1978. Played a Dwarf...

First video game played, Pong 1979. 

Quote, " I get paid to do this? Cool!" 

 

Update, Rob is in Ottawa working in post production on the biggest project of his career, to date.

 Update #2. Now I am in Toronto working on the next biggest project of my career. I see a trend forming.
