Richard Taylor ::
This week, the visual effects artist Richard Taylor came to AiLV. His resume is stunning and has been the creative director Tron (1982), the first movie to introduce people to computer animation. He has designed the space ships for Star Trek the Motion Picture and is currently the cinematic director for EA in LA.
During his lecture, he displayed a showcase of his commercial work but also addressed questions pertaining to getting work in our disciplines.
He gave us many pieces of advice but the one that sticks out above all is to "Always be positive". Rejection is part of the business and being positive will always get you through.
Thanks Richard for the visiting us and for the the inspiring talk.
The works you see to the left are his personal pieces, pieces that he creates for his own fulfillment. They will be on display at the school until the end of November.
Check his webiste here for his bio and to view more work:

Remember to do your best, have fun and be fierce when it comes to creating the best work you possibly can make. Keep your eyes on the prize and be persistent, for it is your greatest power. If you need help, let me, any of the staff or your Academic Directors know.
To encourage you, refer to this site for what was covered in your class and to see what was assigned for homework. Use this site to help you stay on top of things during the quarter.
