Congratulations AM graduates!


This weekend I had the honor of attending another graduation ceremony for classes 15 and 16 of AnimationMentor.com.  It was also the 5th anniversary of the school, which I am proud to have been affiliated with since it's launch in 2005.  The gala event was held and the gorgeous Palace of Fine Arts Theater in San Francisco, walking distance from the Presidio (home of ILM and the Walt Disney Family Museum).  If that wasn't cool enough, the commencement speaker was none other than Lee Unkrich, director or Toy Story 3.  It was great to see all the excited graduates and meet a lot of my students face to face.  Congrats, guys!

    Thanks for being a part of the AM grad celebrations.

    I was attending remotely via the web, and I could totally feel the vibe of the room.

    (How moving was Lee Unkrich's speech?!?)

    Hope you guys had a great time.
