JON PETERS

Athena Studios

Jon Peters is founder of Athena Studios in Emeryville, CA, which focuses on stop-motion animation and post production. His work as a designer, director and producer on shorts, corporate and commercial productions has won numerous awards and has been written about in Fortune, Forbes, Wired, Adweek, Print and various other publications over the years.

Jon started his career as an industrial designer and professional model-maker. He first became interested in stop-motion animation when he saw Ray Harryhausen's work on The 7th Voyage of Sinbad as a child. His first job out of college in 1980 was working with the optical photography coordinator from Star Wars designing a scifi themed amusement center. While it took almost 45 years for Jon to fully realize his dream to form a stop-motion studio he says "the best things in life are worth waiting for."
