We started our day at Ron's Alma mater, UCLA
Doug Ward gave us a great tour of the Animation / Film Department. We watched some excellent student films! For the students on the trip: dot, dot, dash, space, dot, dash, dot, space... you know what I mean.
Joaquin Baldwin, CCAD Alumni, current UCLA Film Graduate Student (check out his newest film!)

"Foley, Oh YEAH!"
Next, we headed over to USC to learn more about their Graduate Animation Program. Daphine Sigismondi gave us information on the application and program process.
We saw the graduate labs (they were archiving old cels... it was a sex-ed film from the 50's!)
Mar Elepano hosted the tour
Walked past the Shrine Auditorium
... to the Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts
Whoa! Check out this HD AVID lab!
The center is where they film Trojan Vision
After dinner, we were thrilled to host John Nelson! Lots of great stories!

My dear friend... I have NO CLUE what you are talking about with the captions of you comments (Disney, Animation, Pixar.... they all sound familiar though), but what a great trip this sounds! Funny, in my classes (business) we had presentations on industrial organizational psychology or the art of POS stations in grocery stores... what you and your students get to see/learn is WAYYYY more cool.
