3dsense Media School invited to PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS
on tie ups,collaborations and a discussion on 3dsense Animation Diploma Programmes
4 Aug 2005 , Emeryville CA
The footprints are vivid.And they are real. Reality bites.Definitely truly mesmerising.
3dsense Media School sets foot into the soils of Pixar Animation Studios, notably one of the best Animation Studios in the world, known to mankind, and charts yet another remarkable milestone in her historical diary.Under the roof of this US$100 million custom-architected building of bolts and nuts, creativity is experienced first hand.

An afternoon with Character Animators Andrew Gordon (Advisor of 3dsense Media School), Victor Navone, the one who rose to stardom for ¡®Alien Song' (Speaker, 3D Passion 2005) and Director Ralph Eggleston, the one who art directed ¡®Finding Nemo' (and directed "For the birds" amongst many other Pixar Films) was totally fairy tale. The story began with a hearty lunch comprising burgers and fries from Pixar's caf¨¦. From the curriculum of 3dsense Diploma programme to little chats on Singapore and the digital media industry, the afternoon air reek of scents of joy and laughter.
After lunch, Andrew and Victor played hosts to the team from 3dsense who listened attentively to their guided tour. Light hearted, entertaining, truly fantastic. The trip was greeted by many other equally renowned Pixar ¡®crusaders' who so valiantly won the hearts of many Pixar fans and aspiring CG artists. The engagement was truly animated; the learning curve massively steep. Every nook and corner of Pixar presents abundant learning opportunities, from the Exhibit halls of the latest movie, ¡®The Incredibles' to the highly polished and decorated work stations of the Animators. The nifty woodcraft bookshelf inside Andrew's workstation that leads to a custom-designed casino and mini-bar manifests the creative autonomy Pixar affords her team of Animators. Undoubtedly, this is Pixar Animation Studios, the brainchild of ¡®Toy Story', ¡®Bugs Life', and ¡®Monsters Inc', ¡®Finding Nemo', just to name a few.

Inside Andrew's working area, the team from 3dsense Media School , further discussed on possible tie ups, initiatives and more importantly, the curriculum of the school, which whould make her globally competitive. Andrew was heartened by works of our inaugural first batch of Diploma in Digital Visual Effects and Animation Students, on the note that the school focuses on independent film, Group film as well as a specialization module throughout the school's intensive fulltime programme, was lauded by even Ralph Eggleston, who directed PIXAR's ¡°For the birds¡±. Further discussion regarding other possible initiatives was carried out in terms of raising the bar for the standard of the school.
It was always difficult to pen an ending to a great story. Nevertheless, realism contradicts eternity. Knowing that we left with bags of knowledge and information truly beneficial to 3dsense and her students are the best takeaway from this visit to Pixar. Special thanks to Andrew Gordon, Victor Navone and Ralph Eggleston for the wonderful time. These are truly magical moments. Most importantly, this opens yet another new chapter of 3dsense involvement with Pixar and her great team of CG artists.
In the end, the school was also presented a limited edition of hand signed poster by PIXAR's Mr Teddy Newton, more recently known for as the writer for ¡°Jack Jack Attack¡±, a short created from ¡°The Incredibles¡±. 3dsense and all her students now await anxiously Victor Navone's visit to Singapore in October 2005 and his Masterclass session to our students.
More important and exciting initiatives are tied up during this trip and will be announced in weeks to come. So hold on tight, as 3dsense Media School notches forward again with our tie ups with animators from PIXAR Animation Studios !!!
This is truly a magical and a happy ending.
