Animation Mentors Feedback

Anthony Wong:- ( Senior Animator at Pixar )
Areas of strength: The most productive student in my class. Very fast. Passionate. Experienced animator. Eager to learn. Assignments always on time and good. Good participation in Q & A. The standard and character walks are great.

Nicole Herr (Senior Animator at Sony Imageworks)
Areas of strength: Trupti - I know you had a hard semester. Half way through you got sick, yet you kept going and turned in your assignments quick, getting as much into them as you could. I know it affected your semester. Thank you for keeping me & the school informed. Always asking good questions. Interesting concepts in your animations. Good understanding of weight.

Nick Bruno ( Senior Animator at Blue Sky Studios)
Areas of strength: CONCEPTS & IDEAS – You truly have some funny and entertaining ideas for your animations. For me personally this is the most important tool for any animator. After all we are in the business of entertaining people.

Dana Boadway ( A senior freelance animator )
I was lucky to have Dana twice as my Mentor for term 04 and 05.
Areas of strength: Takes direction well. good sense of character expression, and interaction between them on screen.
*Class05- Mentor Dana Boadway:-
Areas of strength: Trupti has come a long way this term with her visual storytelling skills. She's really improved her communication, and simplified and brought things to a level where they made a lot more sense for the audience. Her editing/continuity skills improved as well.

Michelle Meeker (Animation Consultant and Contractor)
Areas of strength: Trupti had a nice sense of pacing in her storytelling. She is good at taking direction and has a great attitude towards her work. She has a good overall sense of posing and how her character is staged in the frame.
