About the Creator of deLAYER, Tim Thiessen
Tim Thiessen was a motion graphics artist in Portland, Oregon. He and his wife, Christine, were married almost 31 years at the time of his passing in January 2019. He had two adult children, a daughter named Sydney and a son, Jake. Both his children followed in his footsteps, receiving college degrees in production. His hobbies included running, motorcycle riding, time-lapse photography and traveling to exotic places like Disneyland. He loved his French bulldog, Minnie, and often drew sketches of her.
As a child, Tim loved to watch TV and his dad told him that when he grew up, he should get a job watching television… so he did. After college, he moved into production work. He started as an editor and eventually taught himself After Effects. He found his niche as a computer animator for the next 25 years and grew in confidence and knowledge as he strived to become the best he could be in his field. He always encouraged others to find their niche and perform their jobs with excellence. “Good enough” was not a part of Tim’s vocabulary.
When looking for a way to solve a problem, Tim stretched himself to learn JavaScript and ended up creating his own script. Two years later, he has multiple scripts used by animators all over the world.
