DreamWorks Pipeline Video


I showed this in class the other week - and had to laugh seeing all the old familiar faces.  I forgot they interviewed Allen Stetson and Adam Ely for this video!

It's actually a really great video.  It was the brainchild of Tim Ingersoll, one of the resident trainers at DreamWorks (and amateur magician) who was actually the first person to ever teach me animation during his "Animation for Non-Animators" workshop there.  He kept having to explain all the CG terms to executives and non-artist employees coming through DW Training Dept, he thought he needed a video to show.  He wrote it up and got Tom McGrath (voice of Skipper) on board.  Then it became a big official thing, and the studio got the DreamWorks India group working on it and it turned into a mini-movie.
