Teaching at Art Center


I'm teaching the Storyboarding for Filmmakers class this semester at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Having never gone to Art Center as a student, I was honored to even be asked and jumped at the opportunity. With past instructors and graduates like Ansel Adams, Ralph McQuarrie, Bob Peak, Drew Struzan, Burne Hogarth, Syd Mead, Michael Bay, Craig Mullins, Ryan Church, Feng Zhu, Scott Robertson, Stan Sakai, Zack Snyder and Michael Whelan to name but a few. Whew! What a list! It reads like a Who's Who of art and film. All guys I've admired and studied their work more often than my own. How they worked their way down to me, I'll never know!

Storyboarding for Filmmakers is Tuesday evenings from 7-10 if anyone is interested.

¡las gracias pero mi español aspira! mi enseñanza está afortunadamente mucho mejor.

Teaching a class of directors is really fun. A lot of them aren't expert artists, but they all have good ideas and excellent storytelling skills. And that's what's important!
