Today we started at Blur (Tyler could barely contain his enthusiasm)
Tom Dillan gave the students great advice on student portfolios: "Does the student have an eye for design and the demonstration of patience (high detail in both models and textures)? We can teach them how to speed that process up on the job." He would rather see one or two really well executed pieces (than a whole bunch of moderate stuff).
We were allowed into Blur's Motion Capture studio (all kinds of fun props in here!)
Ron took one for the team!
We got to talk with Shaun McNally, CCAD Alumni, Blur Concept Artist
Next, it was on to Double D!
Inside the main building at Digital Domain (notice the Frank Gehry structure?)
Tim Enstice, Publicity Coordinator, gave the tour.
Phi and Kirk, CCAD Alumni, popped in to say hi!
Next, we had a late lunch, or early dinner at Pink's
Waiting in line at Pink's (took about 45 minutes at 4:00)
Enjoying our Pink's
In the evening, we were visited by Bert Poole, CCAD Alumni
Bert brought gifts! Doug scored a squishy Monsters vs. Aliens B.O.B. toy!
Best gift of all: Bert took the time to review student work. He emphasized this bit of truth: When it comes to color concept and design skills, don't let the computer toss all that knowledge away. Remember these analogue design tools and make the computer do what you visually want to do (not what the buttons and presets do by default).
