Eric Chu

Eric Chu has been in the film and animation business for nearly 40 years, starting at Nelvana Studios back in 1985. Working as a layout and storyboard artist, he found himself on such TV projects as Droids, Beetlejuice, Captain Power, and many others. In pursuit of a more stimulating environment, Eric moved to Asia in 1995 where he became involved in the local film and commercial industry there by forming Fisheye Films with a local director and producing commercials. Upon his return to Canada in 1998, Chu began working on various productions around Vancouver. In 2002 he found himself doing concept designs for the new Battlestar Galactica where he was responsible for visualizing the look of the new Galactica, the Cylons, Raiders, and Basestars. The success of the show has earned him fan recognition and he often attends conventions to talk of his experiences. In recent years he has been doing designs for the forthcoming puppet-based sci-fi series, Firestorm, for Anderson Entertainment (Thunderbirds, Space: 1999).
