Horton Hears a Who!

I wanted to blog a little about my experience at Blue Sky. Blue Sky was a freaking blast!! It was a lot of hard work and long hours, but it was worth it. I had a really great time working there. I got to work with two of my Mentors; Pete Paquette, and Mike Walling, you guys Rock. I also got to meet face to face with a ton of AM students that I've seen there work and knew their name but never met. Also as I've mentioned in my Pixar post, I got to work with Curran and Tun again as well.

Horton has so much eye candy in it....its so tasty. The animation we were seeing on a daily basis blew our minds. Blue Sky has an all star team of animators that were just bringing it every day. For me the best part was the style of animation. I've never done that exaggerated or that broad before and being exposed to it everyday just gets you hooked. I love Chuck Jones, his cleaver direction gave us some of the best animated shorts of all time. I feel that Horton has a lot of that in its animation. To really see what I'm talking about your just going to half to wait until March 14 cough Plug cough.

I think the one of the coolest things that happened on that project was on my last day. We were doing rounds and I had the Directors, Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino at my desk and I said to them..."Thank you so much for letting me work on your movie." and Steve looks at me and says "OUR movie" I said "thats right, our movie!" That really made me feel good! Even though I was a temp and only there for two months they really considered us part of the team...and you really felt that there. I'm very proud to be apart of Horton...heck I'm even sporting my Horton T-shirt as I'm blogging this. So go see Horton on March 14 and Blue Sky kicks Ass!......."Good Stuff!"
