The Right Personal Connection Can Lead to the Right Brain Connections
Allow me to quickly describe my own educational history. I attended Santa Clara University directly out of high school because Dad, my adoptive father, thought I'd make a good engineer like himself; this was mostly because I had a superior aptitude for math and was pretty good at drawing and computer programming, at least for that time. I attended school there for a year and a term before I began experiencing health problems--since resolved--and tried to switch to performing arts, and my pa... Read more

Photoshop and Illustrator for Animation and Video production!
As a production manager at a small animation company, I currently train new graduates coming out of Art Institute as we hire them right out of college... and I'm finding that while almost all of new hires are great artists, very few of them are ready to actually 'have a job'. The portfolios and resumes are great, but when it comes to real life animation production, a project that they may have trained on in college may have had a deadline of 2 or 3 months; But in real crunch-time production ...
