Early life[]

Skudder started his college years at the USC School of Cinematic Arts to study Cinematography and Film/Video Production from 2005 to 2008.

Career[]

Skudder started his career as an animator at the animation studio, 6 Point Harness. While he was working on different projects, he was co-developing a web series for Mondo Media with Zack Keller called Dick Figures. When the first episode of Dick Figures was released on YouTube, it was a massive success and it eventually became the most viewed web series on YouTube. Skudder and Keller then started to make 49 more episodes. Skudder also voiced Red, Raccoon, and Mr. Dingleberry in Dick Figures. It was doing so well that Ed and Zack both created a Kickstarter to fund the feature-length film, Dick Figures: The Movie (the first feature-length animated production by Mondo Media and 6 Point Harness). It was known for being one of the most popular animated projects being funded through Kickstarter at that time.

After Dick Figures ended in 2015, Skudder went on to work on Disney Television Animation's Pickle and Peanut, as a writer for one episode and as a storyboard artist for two episodes of the show. After that, Skudder worked as a creative director in animation at GoldieBlox.

After working at GoldieBlox, he co-created two animated mini web series with Lynn Wang in 2015 for Spindo TV called Kicko Puncho Rhino and Power Gloves that were both premiered on YouTube. After the two web series ended, Skudder worked at Nickelodeon where he co-created, co-directed, and co-written the short film, Space Mission: Danger with Lynn Wang for the 2015 Nickelodeon Animated Shorts Program.^[6]

After that, in 2017, Skudder was brought in to work with Warner Bros. Animation as a writer, director, and storyboard artist for an episode of Teen Titans Go!, and The Lego Group with Lynn Wang to co-develop the Cartoon Network animated series Unikitty!. They both worked as producers for seasons 1 and 2, then co-executive producers for the third season. Skudder was also a singer and songwriter for a couple of songs in the show. However, the show didn't last long despite that it was picked up for a third season and had 104 episodes over the series run.

After Unikitty! ended in August 2020, Skudder is currently a story artist and head of story on an upcoming feature film by Illumination. He also made EFX Designs and for the upcoming series, The Cuphead Show and development storyboards and a bordomatic sequence for an unannounced film for Netflix.
