Mr. Personality

Hey gang!

I graduated from the greatest animation school evah! Animation Mentor. Whoa! The team at AM really went all out for the ceremony. They had our names listed on a giant projection screen in the style of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and Superman. I don't mean they just downloaded the font and slapped our names up there. I mean they recreated the opening credits of those movies with our names. Freakin' awesome! My name had the Superman theme. Nice!

They had the director of Madagascar give an inspirational speech, which really did make me feel good about what I have chosen to do with my life. They also had a history of AM with some hilarious blooper footage of classes and mentors.

I met so many great people at the ceremony. Everyone there was super nice and really super cool people. One thing I did notice was that everyone was either shorter or taller than I had expected. Whoa! I also noticed that Bobby Beck, founder of AM, had the most energy of any single person I have ever met. Awesome! I even was able to meet 2 of my mentors. They were super cool. My mentor from Pixar said that he was going to get my name tattooed on his chest. Just kiddin' Robert :) Rock!

I even received an award for my crazy antics during class. I won the Best Personality in a Q&A award. I had to give an acceptance speech and boy was I nervous. I guess stage freight comes back after you haven't been in front of 300 people in a while. Whoa!

I will have to post more about graduation and maybe I will even post some pictures.


Rock!
