Spring 2010 SOS Workshop #1 is DONE!


Yesterday was a bittersweet last session, ending another SOS workshop. I've known most of the animators in that workshop since the AAU days and now after having graduated they are off, applying for jobs and getting awesome offers. I'm really proud of everybody and wish them nothing but the best!

Thanks for all those Tuesdays filled with laughter!!

Thanks JD for making every workshop session so awesome!! Even though I was busy half the time and was unable to be present often, I still enjoyed the times together!!

I will never forget that you are the MOST helpful and nicest animation teacher I have (outside school) ever. :) I'm going to miss everyone at the workshop too! All of you guys rock so much! It's been a great semester as well. Keep in touch!!

JD,

I always right a long comment saying how awesome SOS is and especially how amazing you are as mentor and person.
As usual, Ting writes it first.

So here it goes: - You are awesome!

Anyway, thank you for all the great advices and critiques. I have seen a lot of teachers and mentors out there, and I am proud to say that you are the best. Not because you are a great animator, but because we know you care for us.

Thank you :)

JD! Thank you for all the critiques, advice and inspiration!

I remember my first class with you at AAU and how you opened my eyes to animation. Your enthusiasm and honesty really had a lasting impression on me. I salute you sir!

From the bottom of my heart, thanks for everything!

JD,


Once again, thank you for teaching and making this workshop so awesome.
Those Tuesday nights were a lot of fun. I'm going to miss sitting around a table with friends while learning and speaking animation.

See you in Fall.


Merci.
