jedimaster1227 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Sally Corporation has sent us an exciting press release about our friend Rich Hill's very exciting news! Rich Hill, who joined Sally Corporation twelve years ago as an artist, and four years ago became a member of the company’s award-winning design team, has been promoted to the position of senior designer. A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Hill studied under some of the most noted special effects designers in the movie and theme park industries before joining a small animatronics company as a sculptor and animatronics specialist, building characters for Rainforest Café, Disney World, and Universal Studios. Later opening his own studio, Hill undertook design and sculpting projects for various theme parks and companies before joining Sally. “Since joining the design department, Rich has done an outstanding job across the board, and as lead designer on several projects,” says Sally CEO John Wood. “He brings knowledge, imagination and dedication to every project, and has become an invaluable part of our team.” Hill works directly with Drew Hunter, vice-president of creative design, on all aspects of conceptualization and design for the company’s interactive dark rides, animatronics, and exhibits. Some of you may recognize Rich from the last few years of IAAPA coverage on TPR. He's given us some incredible looks at some of Sally Corp's latest projects, including Power Blast II. He (along with Jan Sherman, also of Sally Corp) were responsible with supplying the awesome Sally items for this year's IAAPA Bags of Crap (which ended up being pretty spectacular)! Congratulations Rich, keep up the great work!
AyTrane Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 That is great news! I have always been a fan of his work, and enjoy getting to speak with him at IAAPA. I wish him luck with the company.
cfc Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Good for Mr. Hill! It looks like Sally's got some interesting projects up its sleeve, too.
TPDave Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Thats good to hear! I'm sure he'll lead the design team well! Now, if only we could get more Sally rides in the UK...
SharkTums Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I expect many more rides where you are calling animals with a gun and shooting at Santa!!!
