Over the last couple of weeks my life has been Animation Mentor from head-to-toe! It's been so inspiring hosting and participating in so many fantastic events! It was a pleasure meeting so many inspired students and graduates from all over the world. NOTE: To view the photos be sure to add AM on your Facebook: www.facebook.com/AnimationMentor
Here's a list and snaps/pictures from the events:
• An Open House at the Animation Mentor HQ
• Animation Mentor's Career Fair
• Animation Mentor's Summer Graduation Ceremony
• The Annual Animation Mentor BBQ
• A Webinar with Don Hahn - click for replay
Spike is now a chef! Watch out!!! :)
Christa and Melissa welcome AMers to the Career Fair!
This is the stuff I LOVE to see. Alumni coming out to support the current graduates and having a blast. So stoked to see so much love and support going around. If you weren't there you wouldn't believe it if I told you how freaking awesome it is to be around this energy! WOW!
I was also fortunate enough to host a webinar with Don Hahn, the editor of the two book set "Drawn to Life," by Walt Stanchfield! It was such an honor to host this and I'm so stoked we're offering it for people to view for FREE! Click Here to view it. Enjoy!So with that I'm getting a couple moments of rest and then getting ready to hit Animation Mentor Power Sessions Part 2 at Comic Con and then at Siggraph! It's going to be a VERY BUSY next couple of weeks and I'm SOOOOOOO looking forward to it! WOOT WOOT! Hope to see some more of you soon. I'll also be blogging more while at the events!
Hey Bobby, it was great to meet you, Shawn, Carlos & everybody else in the flesh finally...
ReplyDeleteIt was totally worth the trip - although if I make it again, I'm going to have to remember to apply Sun block every 10 seconds at the BBQ... I looked like a giant sausage.
Have a good one at Siggraph - and don't forget to show off your Comic Con swag!

ReplyDeleteOh man, there was an AM open house? I had no idea. If I had known, I would've come down earlier.
ReplyDeleteHey Bobby,
ReplyDeleteThe amount of cool stuff AM is churning out is crazy! It was cool meeting you at Graduation (although it was only for, like, 4.46 seconds ;-).
See you next year.
Cheers,
Charles

ReplyDeleteIf when I make it back to Egypt I'll be sure to look you up. Fes, the events were posted on the students site. AJ and Charles it was a pleasure meeting you both, too. Lots of amazing energy for sure and I'm so stoked you guys are enjoying yourselves. AJ sounds like you looked like your avatar :)
ReplyDeleteCharles, thanks for the shout out. We've been working hard to push animation education to a new level. It feels so much fun doing it, too! WOOT WOOT!!!
DUDE! Love the pic you chose for the graduation part. Granted I might be biased since I'm in it but it's awesome none the less. AM Events always rock, there's just always this amazing passion and energy there that just can't be beat.
