More of Siggraph! Actually that robot building therapy sounded really cool, here’s an article about it in case you’d like to know more about http://www.health2con.com/news/2012/01/13/diy-robots-provide-theraphildren/

Also, I might add that the guy at Ringling didn’t really told me that the debt was worth it, but it got kinda offended when I asked him how many years it usually takes for students to pay off something that big :/ I’ve started to think, no matter how cool the school is or how awesome artist it would make you, it’s still a big deal and a factor to consider.

Still at Siggraph! This time we got to go around the Studio and see lots of technologic stuff we didin’t understand :) We felt really bad by walking out the Frozen production session after they started talking tech stuff, since like 1/3 of the audience stood up and leave at that point >_> but yeah, we couldn’t understand a thing

What? Page 50 already? And not even 1/3 of the trip? Hahaha, well I may have gone into much details. But here are we waiting for the directors to get out of the Arena and try to talk to them, and also encountering Bobby Beck, co-founder of Animation Mentor, which was really cool and enthusiastic as he appears to be :)

The Siggraph experiences start here! They were 3 intense days full of vocational crisis and doubts :D, but it was fun and cool things happened
