History


Liam Vickers began as a writer at the age of 17 after watching creepypastas on YouTube and feeling inspired to write stories with his narrations. He would soon create his first YouTube channel named "Scary Story Time With Liam" in 2013. He spent about 6-7 years writing Creepypastas and music on the channel and gained a fan base for his style of writing. His most notable work from the channel is a story series named Design. This would become the most popular series on the channel and a huge stepping stone for Liam's career.
Around 2015, Liam launched his second channel, "SpoopTime". This channel was intended as a dumping ground for his classwork at the University of Southern California. Primarily animations, but also featuring several original songs.
In 2018 he created a third channel named Liam Vickers Animation where he uploaded his post-USC animation work. Shortly after he officially graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Animation and Digital Art, Liam gained the profession of a Storyboard Artist. As an animation artist, he uploaded test footage for a long-existing project titled "Let's Split Up", originally started during his time at USC under the title "Split", this footage was uploaded on February 10, 2018 on Liam Vickers Animation, which sparked more interest than anything uploaded to SpoopTime; this motivated him to create more animations in future.
On July 26, 2020, Liam announced that he was discontinuing the Scary Story Time With Liam channel to pursue his career in animation. Since then, Liam has interned at Netflix Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Bros. Animation, Nickelodeon Animation Studio, and DreamWorks Animation.
