Rio De Janeiro

RIO. A week in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The food, beach, samba, music, fresh fruit, fun in the sun. Met some even more Brazilian AM students; Rapheal, Wagner, Rodrigo and Chris, who all took us out and showed us the true Rio. I also got to hang out with Carlos Saldanha's (Director of Ice Age 2 & 3) sister in Ipanema. Go Blue Sky! We enjoyed a visit to Seagulls Fly animation studio, which has the best views in the world, and they close the blinds. :) I want to give a special thanks to the folks at AM for making it possible for me to meet these great people.

AMers in Sao Paulo!

Just left Sao Paulo, the AM capital of South America, where I got meet 15 AM students. Ana and Fernando toured us all over the city and even took us to a futbol match between Santos and Sao Paulo. 0-0, but it was still exciting. We had a few fantastic Brazilian meals and I got to talk to many current and future animation peers. I had a great time and hope to see all of you guys soon!
