A Teaching Foray

I just finished teaching a 4-week intensive workshop in 3D animation at the New York Film Academy. The students made a short film using Maya, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro. As a first-time teaching experience, it was certainly a jump into the deep-end of the pool. For the first two weeks I was in front of the class from 9AM to 5PM; any waking time spent not teaching was dedicated to prepping for the next day. The last two weeks eased off somewhat, as the students worked on their projects and I provided assistance and counsel, with an occasional review lecture thrown in. It was a demanding but very rewarding experience.

Here's graduation day.
