life in a pose 2 00:00:08.675 --> 00:00:11.295 and in an action by purely 3 00:00:11.325 --> 00:00:12.815 what comes out of your imagination. 4 00:00:13.725 --> 00:00:14.815 That stuff blows me away. 5 00:00:22.035 --> 00:00:24.695 You can bring people hope with, uh, animation, 6 00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:26.935 bring them laughter, smiles. 7 00:00:26.935 --> 00:00:28.615 You can share personal experiences. 8 00:00:29.285 --> 00:00:30.535 It's really powerful stuff. 9 00:00:32.455 --> 00:00:34.975 A world without art would be very bland. 10 00:00:35.895 --> 00:00:39.415 I think the concept of creating something that didn't exist 11 00:00:39.515 --> 00:00:41.895 before is very interesting. 12 00:00:42.225 --> 00:00:43.655 Throughout my entire childhood, 13 00:00:43.755 --> 00:00:44.855 it was just like always movies 14 00:00:45.315 --> 00:00:47.975 and then those were the just like my happy place I guess. 15 00:00:48.275 --> 00:00:49.815 But I always knew that there was someone 16 00:00:50.275 --> 00:00:51.415 out there making this. 17 00:00:51.795 --> 00:00:54.055 If I did do this, I would not get bored 18 00:00:54.175 --> 00:00:56.295 'cause it would always be something new and something better 19 00:00:56.355 --> 00:00:57.655 and something more advanced. 20 00:00:58.435 --> 00:01:00.655 One of my favorite things about being a Francis Auto 21 00:01:00.655 --> 00:01:03.895 student is gotta be the community in the classroom. 22 00:01:04.415 --> 00:01:05.455 I really love that aspect. 23 00:01:06.435 --> 00:01:09.535 You're hard pressed to find a group of individuals so 24 00:01:10.135 --> 00:01:11.775 inspired and dedicated by the same things you are 25 00:01:12.355 --> 00:01:16.135 unless you come to, uh, a classroom setting such as this. 26 00:01:17.045 --> 00:01:20.415 Everybody starts off at the special effects technician level 27 00:01:20.755 --> 00:01:23.255 and that starts you off learning Adobe. 28 00:01:23.435 --> 00:01:24.495 The Adobe Creative Suite 29 00:01:25.425 --> 00:01:28.775 First we started with just Photoshop Illustrator, 30 00:01:28.845 --> 00:01:33.015 premier After Effects, just like basic 2D 31 00:01:33.635 --> 00:01:35.575 and just understanding how film works. 32 00:01:36.275 --> 00:01:37.855 And once you move on from that, 33 00:01:38.405 --> 00:01:39.855 they let you get into Maya. 34 00:01:39.855 --> 00:01:40.935 Whether you're a 3D model 35 00:01:40.935 --> 00:01:43.215 or an animator determines where you'll go from there, 36 00:01:43.235 --> 00:01:46.335 but everybody starts in the same uh, project. 37 00:01:47.095 --> 00:01:49.015 I think it really does a really good base for 38 00:01:49.015 --> 00:01:50.295 what you need to know here. 39 00:01:50.355 --> 00:01:52.695 You kind of realize that it's not 40 00:01:52.815 --> 00:01:54.255 as straightforward as you would think. 41 00:01:54.565 --> 00:01:57.495 It's a lot more complicated and there's like so many steps 42 00:01:57.555 --> 00:02:00.055 and so many people are responsible for this single step 43 00:02:00.355 --> 00:02:02.495 and you kind of figure out what you're good at. 44 00:02:02.875 --> 00:02:04.815 Our instructors are very knowledgeable 45 00:02:04.875 --> 00:02:06.135 in, in what we're working in. 46 00:02:06.485 --> 00:02:08.095 They have a lot of professional experience 47 00:02:08.315 --> 00:02:09.455 and they come from the industry 48 00:02:09.515 --> 00:02:10.855 and that's, it's really helpful. 49 00:02:11.345 --> 00:02:13.175 There are a lot of things I wouldn't be able 50 00:02:13.175 --> 00:02:15.375 to do if my instructor hadn't helped me through it. 51 00:02:15.915 --> 00:02:19.135 Our, our instructor is very kind, very patient 52 00:02:19.595 --> 00:02:21.055 and he's always checking up on us, 53 00:02:21.055 --> 00:02:22.775 making sure if we ever have any trouble, 54 00:02:22.925 --> 00:02:24.255 he's right there and ready to help us. 55 00:02:25.035 --> 00:02:26.575 My teachers help me make resumes 56 00:02:26.715 --> 00:02:29.215 and like, help me enter into competitions 57 00:02:29.275 --> 00:02:31.135 so I can have something to put on my resume. 58 00:02:31.365 --> 00:02:33.055 Francis Tuttle makes sure 59 00:02:33.055 --> 00:02:35.415 that you are set up in that next step. 60 00:02:35.725 --> 00:02:36.775 They guide you through it. 61 00:02:36.775 --> 00:02:39.135 They hook you up with internships 62 00:02:39.365 --> 00:02:41.815 because they themselves have friends in the industry. 63 00:02:41.815 --> 00:02:43.855 They, they know people and so that's very, very helpful. 64 00:02:45.435 --> 00:02:49.295 My big goal is to bring the entertainment industry to 65 00:02:49.855 --> 00:02:52.295 Oklahoma because I wanna help bring the arts 66 00:02:52.355 --> 00:02:53.415 and build that here. 67 00:02:54.055 --> 00:02:56.815 I wanna be able to create something that is beyond me, 68 00:02:57.275 --> 00:03:00.125 so I wanna be able to create something that when I'm gone 69 00:03:00.795 --> 00:03:02.005 it's, it's still happening. 70 00:03:02.435 --> 00:03:06.405 Everybody loves to escape the normal day. 71 00:03:06.655 --> 00:03:08.445 Creativity allows us to do that.
