The Geek Hierarchy and Animators

Sunday night I had dinner with my friend Teresa, the most excellent animator who worked on (amongst others) Chicken Run. Teresa had a copy of the Geek Hierarchy with her which was an odd coincidence as that very subject had come up no more than five days earlier. We got to talking about how animators fit on the chart and figured that two more tracks should be added to look something like this:

Stop Motion Animators
|
Puppeteers
|
Muppetteers
|
Marionettists
|

And:

Horror Movie Fans
|
People who know the names
of prosthetic artists from
horror movies
|
People who make their
own prosthetics
