Today I finally got to meet the whole crew and my mentor Elliot Bour. He seems to be a very nice guy and very down to earth for someone with so much experience in animation and directing, also he didn’t mind expressing his opinion about companies and movies he worked on so that was refreshing but this will stay private as in this business you still need to keep stuff for you, don’t worry he didn’t have much grudge against the whole business and didn’t make comments John K. would do.
Fate made Richie Prado and Matt Morris be in my class this term so I get to be in the same class than 2 UK guys, Matt being in London already and Richie coming back once in a while from Birmingam. This allows us to meet regularly and help each others. Gosh I just realised I might have forgotten some of my classmates when i did my photoshop collage… damn

I did travel a fair bit in the past and thought that it would be a cool idea to map all those places. The furthest I went was probably North America on holidays and the South West of Africa where I lived for 2 years.

My friend Sebastien Lasserre just finished a funny stop motion music video clip. Have a look this is pretty cool, plenty of nice details.

Yep after few ups and downs I finally reached the second year of animation mentor and will spend the 6 next month on developing then producing my own short. Producing a short is not something you can take too lightly and the idea of spending the next 6 month on a story I will choose in the next few weeks is really scary! Luckily things are done very well at Animation mentor and our mentors for class5 are animators or artists who have had some experience in the story department or in direction.
My mentor for this term will be Elliot M. Bour . He “began his career working as an animator for Walt Disney from “Beauty and the Beast” to “Mulan”, then directed on Disney’s “Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo” and “Kronk’s New Groove”. Elliot just got a job at Sony in development and hopefully we will be able to pick his brain to come up with the best short possible!
