Tabitha St. Germain

T. St. G., started her acting career at the age of 0.9, when an improbable collision of cells resulted in a clotsome little singularity that squeaked.
Radiation from the planet Ninc1, or 'ninny rays,' followed, giving us the T. St. G. of today, who is capable of being almost anything that doesn't involve math or common sense, for a union-approved fee. The T. St. G. singularity worked at the Keg Steakhouse in Halifax as an (appalling) hostess for about a month in the eighties and then took the next logical step and joined the theatre.

She was the lead singer of the wildly forgettable band 'Mystery Diarrhea', who released many things, none of which was an album.

Asking personal questions will usually only bring forth a string of tatty fabrications from this monkey. "I'm not lying," she has said, "I'm ACTING." This is because, while she does have a rich inner life, her outer life is pretty much divided between mucking about in gardens and making noise.

She was hatched, not born, vaguely recalling siblings twittering about in a wasteland of cracked shells. It is possible that she ate them. She amuses herself by setting all the egg timers in Ikea to five minutes, and leaving.

James 'Wootie' Wootton

Wootie is a cartoon, trapped in a human, who for 12 years has been trying, with the forces of fun, pencils and computing, to direct his world to be a cartoonier place, one TV show at a time. His current endeavor, the ever-sparkly-funnerific MLP:FiM, the most successful production to come from DHX Media, where Wootie has spent his last 5 or so years. He loves the honesty of the characters and the wide mythical universe their adventures are set in.

He cut his teeth on Ed, Edd n Eddy at the infamous a.k.a Cartoons inc. Wootie sweated and toiled there for 7 years with other sweaty toiling cartoonists under Mr. Cartoon Director himself, Danny Antonucci. They made 5 seasons of the successful renegade show, where Wootie was free to come up with scenarios, gags, dialogue and character traits... even rewrite the story!

Next, was directing animation of many fun shows at DHX Media. Yakkity Yak, Being Ian, George of the Jungle, and Pucca were where he learned how to turn good scenes into dazzlingly-amazing scenes with use of a cinematic style camera work and simple but effective cartoony flourishes to the character animation. During this time he became freakishly fluent with the program Flash and tickled some tricks to get it to be a more effective animation tool. He creates and sells his tricks in the form of Flash Extension/Plugins on his website wootie.ca so that many can bend Flash to their will. He continues enjoying every last sparkle and rainbow of the Ponies' adventures...
