Thankyou so much. I am definately in the area and must say I love pixar planet (Upcoming Pixar). I’m working toward a career in animation and your website has been vital.
I wasn’t aware of this event until I saw it posted here. I attended and it was great! Mr. Catmull showed some cool things and his comments were very good, though similar to the article he wrote for the Harvard Business Review recently, it was much better seeing and hearing him deliver those words. Thanks again for notice of the event, I am a faithful reader!
