Keith lango自我介绍:
我只是个普通人，对我来说卡通就是一切，这点上我永远长不大，当然在其他很多方面我都是很成熟的。我非常热爱卡通，这也是我是动画师的原因了。至今我已经当了17年的动画师，当然这17年之中我不一直是个优秀的动画师，你知道我们都需要起步的。

在这些年里，我非常有幸与一些有卓越才能的人一起工作，参与了非常多的，超酷的项目制作：我参与了大家童年标志性动画片的制作（米老鼠与特种部队），singing vegetables（唱歌的蔬菜），space traveling penguins（太空旅游的企鹅），奥斯卡提名电影，商业片，顶级游戏动画剧场片，故事片等的制作，现在又做游戏。过去的日子里我做了一些短片，并且尝试做更多的短篇。或许在某一天我希望能将其中一两个大型的故事展现在大家面前。

家庭对我来说很重要，我信奉耶稣基督，但我不喜欢把自己看做是宗教右派。政治家们让我很烦恼，因为我觉得他们也会让耶稣烦恼。我只是尽量做好我的使命所要求的，做我应该做的，避免做我不应该做的事情，离上帝近一些。我尝试尽我的能力去帮助其他人，就像上帝曾经帮我的那样。很多时候，我的工作做的不错，其他时候......。不说那么多了。我是靠上帝的仁慈，通过奉献与重生，来弥补我的各种不足之处。

The VTS is a monthly subscription based video training system for high end performance character animation. The goal and focus of the VTS is to share my knowledge and understanding of character animation based upon my 10+ years experience as a professional character animator, animation supervisor and animation director for television, video, game cinematics and feature film. I've hired and trained dozens of animators in my career and many of them have gone on to the biggest animation studios in the world. The same things I taught them I teach on the VTS. It really is one of the most affordable ways to get material from an experienced professional animator.
