If you are a fan of any animation, then you will recognize Brad Brid’s work.  He was recently awarded the Winsor McCay Award and had to accept the award via video.

This video showcases some of his work and then his speech starts at the 4:30 mark, but if you can’t spare to watch his two minute speech, then start at the start at the 5:43 mark.  I think the payoff is worth it.
