Conrad Helten

I have had the fortune of turning a childhood passion into a successful career - all the while loving what I do.

From my start as a junior animator on Beast Wars Transformers and Reboot (the world's first CG animated television series) to Directing the extremely popular and hugely successful Barbie DVD
series, I have worked in many different capacities and at different stages of the production process, from concept to completion: Script Editing and Storyboarding, Previsualization, Animating, Editing through to the Final Sound mix. These completed projects have gained me recognition from industry peers. I have received Leo Award nominations for "Best Direction/Storyboarding" for Barbie
Mariposa, and won an CAEE Elan award in 2006 for Animation Directing on Barbie Mermaidia.

What I like most about the creative process is discovering the story within while collaborating with a team of talented and dedicated artists.

Currently, I am working as a Series Director on a Episodic project for Netflix, enjoying the opportunity to tell compelling stories using creative staging and cameras to create a visually captivating experience for our audience.
