Just a reminder to check out our Animation + Visual Effects Vimeo page HERE. I've just updated it with the announcement of our new BFA concentration and student work from last Spring.

BFA Animation + Visual Effects

As we officially start the Fall semester I'm so excited to announce our big news - APSU Art+Design is now offering a new BFA concentration in Animation + Visual Effects!

I've been working towards this since coming to APSU in 2015. You can read more about the program HERE and see our latest reel of student work below!

The SIGGRAPH 2019 Faculty Submitted Student Work Exhibit is now online! Check out the link HERE. The following images are accompanied by the assignment sheets - contributing to a huge resource of projects/assignments for other schools to see. There's a lot of hard work in these projects and I'm very proud of all the students accomplished!

Crowds Dept Meetup

Today is our last day hanging out for the summer in California, and I was so excited to see a bunch of the old DreamWorks Crowds Dept come out for a last minute lunch at one of our old hangouts. In the last five years, this team is now part Disney and part DreamWorks - and one of the first times many of us have seen each other since the era of Dragons 2! When people ask if I miss DreamWorks or living in L.A., I really don't. But I miss getting to spend my days with these guys.
