INTERVIEW
INTERVIEW WITH
DANIEL LILLEBERG
By Kris West
Q
: How long have you worked for
Hi-Rez Studios, and how did you
get to the position of Lead Animator?
A: I’ll be at Hi-Rez for 10 years in May, which is
a great thing in this industry as those in it can attest.
It is rare in this business to not have to be looking
over your shoulder and be able to put the time in to
build teams and systems and best practices, and
I hope the results show. I became Lead Animator
after I beat Erez in a game of HORSE. He doesn’t
remember that because when he had HO he tried
some sort of basketball Triple Lindy and konked
his head on the pole. It was dirty to take advantage
of him like that, but I hope its working alright for
