The Frozen North

so, two weekends ago i went up to Ut to give a couple of lectures. "but, mike," you may be saying to yourself, "what sort of lectures? . . . and to whom? and . . . what - since when are you the kind of guy that gives lectures anyways?" well, funny you should ask. my siblings would readily tell you that i'm the kind of person prone to the giving of lectures on any of various topics. and, it is true that i have never been accused of talking too little . . . but these lectures may be a little bit different.

i gave a little presentation to the students of Utah State Unviersity and The University of Utah on getting into the business of animation. i hope i was able to answer some questions about how to make the transition between school and work, as well as bring a little reality to their quests, and maybe even a little bit of inspiration.

luckily i was able to fill the lecture with plenty of videos, including this hi-res version of the Halo 3 teaser that i worked on, so it wasnt so bad.

the question is, really, though . . . should i go to UT to do a masters of some sort as an excuse to make alot of animated stuff? . . . the answer: geeze, i dont know.
