Still a few openings left in my Color And Lighting class!!!

My class at Concept Design Academy has a few openings left...for the first time out of the 3 times I've taught it. Join us...we'll have some fun!!!
As in the previous post where I talked about this class, this is about practical observation...as opposed to color charts and theory. By learning to observe colors in nature, we can bring this knowledge to our work, no matter what style we work in!!!

Fantasia 2000

Fantasia 2000 recruitment trip to the UK and Ireland c.1997
(L to R- Me, CG Supervisor Steve Goldberg, FX/Artistic Coordinator Dave Bossert, Supervising Director Hendel Butoy,  Executive Producer Roy Disney Jr.,  and Producer Don Ernst). Picture behind, is Roy's private jet which we flew on. Yeah....like that happens all the time (Yes, I'm teasing).

Steve Goldberg and I had the best time ever on this trip...and I'm so glad I didn't us killed....or fired....or pushed out of the plane..... or....

An odd project, with some great people that worked on it. And yes, Francis Glebas...it was an honor to work on the Pomp and Circumstance section with you, Mitchel Bernal, Kevin Nelson, Dean Gordon and the BG crew (decor) and under-appreciated supervising animator, Tim Allen. 

Wreck-it Ralph!!!

I worked for a very short time on Wreck it in Visual Development, but really enjoyed it. So many fantastic artists were in the v-dev team...a very intimidating prospect!!! Both Mike Gabriel and Ian Gooding (art directors on the film) brought really terrific and different sensibilities to the film.  Go see it---its a really fun and really beautiful film. Be sure to look for the art of Ryan Lang, Helen Chen, Jeffrey Turley, Kevin Nelson, Andy Harkness, Brittany Lee, Shiyoon Kim, Minkyu Lee, Lorelay Bove, Scott Watanabe, Mac George, Mike Gabriel,  Ian Gooding, James Finch, Vicky Ying, Justin Cram, Bill Perkins, and Jim Finn.
