Just returned from a trip to my old high school in San Jose ( Leland High School) to speak to their animation classes. My former Art teacher Mark Briggs came along with me. It was great to hang with Mr. Briggs, but the rest was a bit too nostalgic for me. The school has some great state of the art equipment and I was often met with blank stares that when I was learning animation we used film, and reel to reel tape recorder, and mag tape.
I tried to record the trip for an attempt at a video blog post. We will see if I can make that happen.

I like the picture you made with the “Camp Lazlo” and “Rocko’s Modern Life” characters together. It’s cool, but what’s the short green charater in the picture?

i understand for schools it must just be really expensive to keep up both, but it would be kind of cool if you had the opportunity to use both modern equipment but also learn how to do old stuff like making reels and things =) that would be awesome.
