Some stuff... :)
Today was an insider's day at school. It's a day off from school but we're required to attend the lectures or whatnot given by industry professionals and such which is awesome to listen to and also gives us a chance to network. Today's guests ( 4 of them ) were all alumni from Ex'Pression. Suh-weet! :)
One guy has worked on Transformers, Matrix revolution, Episode 3, etc.etc.etc. And is now an Animator for ILM
Guy 2: Works solely for Dreamworks and is now doing work on Madagascar: The Crate Escape
Guy 3: Interned at Pixar, Worked at Perpetual before Gods and Heroes got cancelled, etc.
Guy 4: Works solely at the Orphanage.
When the first guy showed his reel with all of the Transformers stuff and the other bits I about cried. I was in awe. He's worked on some great stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if he worked with Geiser when he did the Matrix stuff.
I was inspired :)
Mah weekend was pretty good. Friday, I had my final in my MSV class. I don't think I did all that well. :( Then we did capturing of the footage that we filmed on the shooting days.
