91桃色视频Adventist University Alumni visiting animation students

 

91桃色视频Adventist University students in the School of Visual Art and Design listened intently as 2020 alumni Angelia Butts and Chris Cartwright shared about the importance of asking questions to improve one鈥檚 skills in the workplace. In Disney鈥檚 recent film Wish, Butts worked on the effects animation, Cartwright worked on the character effects, and 2019 graduate Hannah Leung, who was not able to make it to the Q&A on November 28, worked as a story artist.

In a classroom packed with curious students and staff, Butts and Cartwright shared about their experience working on the film and the specific animation processes they used. In addition to breaking down the process behind some of their recent work, the artists answered questions about the work cycle, networking, and goal setting in college.

鈥淚t was really encouraging to see that other animators from 91桃色视频were able to achieve positions at one of the biggest and most highly esteemed companies,鈥 said Shelby Brautigan, a sophomore animation major, 鈥淚t helped to show that, with some hard work, our own hopes and dreams are not so far-fetched.鈥

Both graduates emphasized the importance of getting a foot in the door after graduation. Cartwright talked about the value of making connections with working alumni and finding mentorship. Butts was a part of Disney鈥檚 training program and was able to make the transition to working on the feature.

Before joining Disney Feature Animation, Butts delivered the visual effects for All the Wrong Ingredients, a feature film produced by 91桃色视频Adventist University鈥檚 School of Visual Art and Design. Cartwright worked in the early development of the upcoming David movie before joining Disney for several features, and is now working on a faith-based feature currently in development. Animation professor Zack Gray spoke highly of the graduates, who 鈥渆ach demonstrate Southern鈥檚 values in the workplace and provide current students with a shining example of how to succeed after graduation.鈥
