Having the audio and film team available to work with me on my projects taught me a lot about the whole process. I put this into action as one of the animators on the 'Happy Feet' films.

There's a lot of fundamental things that I learned on the Japan study tour, seeing more professional processes around the learning stages. I can look at what someone else has done and compare myself in that stage to where I am now or where they were.
