Amadhi ("Timothy Albee"), Creator of Kaze, Ghost Warrior, and the Emmy Award winning character animator for the Re-imagined series of Battlestar Galactica's 3rd season, and "Razor".

Amadhi[1], (the artist formerly known as Timothy Albee,) is the sole creator (director, writer, animator, musician and voice actor) of Kaze: Ghost Warrior, which he accomplished in six months on two consumer-grade computers that, combined with software, totaled less than $5,000. One of hir 8 published books, CGI Filmmaking: The Creation Of Ghost Warrior details exactly how he accomplished this, so that others might do the same thing with their own stories.

He is a private twospirit, and a spiritual arctic wolf[2]. In "The Fandom," s/he is also known as dreamsong (a cheetah/wolf hybrid).

In addition to the Timothy Albee Animation website, TA_FineArt Yahoo! group and other professional sites, Timothy maintained a Yerf account for hir furry art. He also maintains Furaffinity, and deviantART archives, and a light-hearted "Community Outreach" webiste for spiritual exploration, 3D and visual effects: Loup Guru

Amadhi was a guest of honor at Eurofurence 10 (2004) and at Anthrocon 2005. He was also a VIP at RBW 2007 in London, UK.

[edit] Biography

Amadhi was born in Michigan and raised in a very small farming community. He bought hir first computer when he was 10 years old with money saved from nearly a full year of bottle and can returns (16KB, Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer). He started college at a state university and then went to CCS in Detroit, leaving college shortly because of disappointment with the faculty's inability to teach him what he wanted to learn. He apprenticed to a flute-master in Virginia for a while, learning to make bamboo flutes, then traveled the Renaissance Faire circuit where he worked as a bard, juggler, slight-of-hand artist, "martial-arts juggler," swordsman and various and sundry other very odd jobs.

He wound up in California in 1991, working as a professional musician focusing mainly on folk and classical harp. He was hired to do sound-production for a small music label where he was first exposed to the Video Toaster. After a few years in "Cali," he took a sabbatical, returning to Michigan to finish hir degree.

He started working for a company to which Disney Interactive was outsourcing its Animated Storybooks, and got back into animation. Then he went back to California to be lead animator on Activision's Apocalypse. He then went on to work on Babylon 5, and then to Walt Disney Feature Animation to work on Dinosaur. After hir tenure at WDFA was up, he formed "Exile Films," which was rolled-into "Studio Mythos" when offshore investors took over, leading the studio in a completely contrary direction. Securing the company a gig to fulfill hir obligations, he left everything associated with Mythos and drove north to live the next 4.5 years in Fox, Alaska.

Amadhi/Dreamsong is a participant in the furry fandom, and Kaze: Ghost Warrior is shown at many furry conventions. He was also once engaged to 2 the Ranting Gryphon.
