BYU Bound!

Posted by TravelSizedLions - April 7th, 2012


Hey all!

I just wanted to let the ENTIRE UNIVERSE know that I got accepted to Brigham Young University! That's right, I'm headed to Provo!

Anyone who might not know what that means for an aspiring animator might be interested to find out that BYU has the best, yes, THE BEST animation program in the US. No lie, nor exaggeration. okay, well maybe a little. But I'll have you all know that pixar has given more jobs to BYU alumni than to any other university graduate. And for me, that sounds like more than reason enough to be excited.

"A door was opened more than five years ago when the first BYU student landed an internship at Pixar Animation Studios. Since then, many students have earned internships, worked on some of Pixar's big animated movies and been retained in full-time positions. Pixar likes BYU's program so much that its animators mentor their students."
-The Deseret News

Blam. there it is. And that was as of last year.

Now all that's left for me is to make it into the animation program itself, which is said to be ridiculously competitive. Wish me luck! :D

BYU Bound!

Congratulations dude! I love your flashes, and I actually live in Sandy, Utah which is about an hour and a half drive away from the BYU campus.

Do you happen to be LDS? Because if you're not... Oh man, you're gonna find something interesting in The Mormons. And if you are? Oh man, you're gonna find something interesting in the Utah version of Mormons.

I've met Mormons from all different places I've lived, and had a great respect for their beliefs and their church. Until I moved to Utah. Utah Mormons have RUINED my views on the church overall, and as much as I hate holding grudges... They may have ruined the idea of faith in any way for me.

Regardless, good luck to you sir :) You'll need it because, like you said, it's competitive as all hell.

Yeah, I'm LDS, and I've been to Utah to visit a few of my brothers while they were attending college. And I can definitely agree with you that the saints there can be WAAAY different than in other places. Hopefully I can change your view for the better with my movies. Maybe I'll even get a little better at making them while I'm at it!

Thanks again for the review, by the way.
