I have a great opportunity to visit Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been asked to participate in a conference for animation called Motion09!!!! I get to go to panels and sessions to learn about new software, take drawing classes (we get to bring our sketchbooks), and listen to some fantastic teachers and speakers. I am truly excited to go! I am looking forward to hearing such talents as Phil Young, a former Disney animator, who is teaching animation at the Albuquerque Art Center campus! I also look forward to seeing Andrew Orloff, co-owner of Zoic Studios. I have met Andrew on various occassions, in California. We have had the same circle of friends, and both of us worked for the company Modern Videofilm. His background is in 3D, whereas mine is is digital visual effects.
I am ready to go!!!!
