It is interesting to note here that someone of his talents is able to both do animated and live-action titles. Some of the films he worked on were high-profiled films, which means that his work in these specialist fields will continue to entertain many future film fans.
My regrets go to his family, friends, and colleagues.
An up-date: Ethan's family informs us that he passed away on June 12, not the 13th.
I was Ethan's childhood friend. He was a fantastic, intelligent, amazingly creative person...this is terrible, awful news. I'm so sorry, and my heart and thoughts go out to his family. He will be missed.

Wow, I was also a childhood friend of Ethans, we made a horror film about sea monkeys, he showed me how to make latex masks, and we used to watch really crappy b budget horror films. I ran into him at the screening of Popcorn. I was so sad to find out about his passing. A loss to the world.
