Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2009, everyone! Here's to hoping the new year will be better than the last. I'll be starting teaching again at AnimationMentor.com next week, as well as returning to Pixar where I'll be helping out the Tools department and animating on Toy Story 3; this should be a nice change of pace from directing. I've got some ideas for new tutorials & notes which I hope to be able to post here soon. I'll also be posting a reel of my work on WALL-E, now that the film has finally been released worldwide (Japan was the last holdout). Thanks for reading!

  5. Thanks for the wonderful blog! I enjoy reading your posts very much and find many of them very helpful with my student work. I actually have a question for you. I am in my final year at college for animation and am looking to get into the industry doing design and conceptual work. Would you have any advice for someone trying to get started in that field?
