All the experiences I had with him was amazing. During his small discussion group, everyone was asking him questions. I think I asked the most question is session I was in. That has been something I've been looking forward for a long time. Since I'm from Florida and it's very hard to find people in the industry that I look up to, this was a great opportunity. I wasn't about to pass that up... I better ask all that I can while I got the chance. Afterwards, we spoke, I asked some more questions, he thanked me for all the questions it made his time during the discussion group easier for him. and I got a photo with him. Later that day, there was a presentation about Ron Clements and John Musker - animation directors from Disney. I saw that Andreas was sitting in the row across from me, and I wanted him to review my portfolio, because I didn't get a chance to do that earlier. After the presentation was over, I walked over to him with my friend and fellow animator, Brad Faucheux. We spoke with him some more and asked more questions. He reviewed my portfolio and he gave me some really good feed back. He told my work was fantastic and pointed out somethings I could improve on. He liked how I am able to express emotion easily and that I was a great artist. He suggested that I tone down the details on my artwork if I want to animate them. I was really the best critique I've ever gotten.
Andreas Deja is a great person to talk to. He is very passionate about animation and he describes animation as almost an emotion rather than an art. He truly is a legendary animator in the making if he isn't one already... which I think he is. He is a humble person and very approachable. I am truly honored to have met him, even if it was just for a brief time. I look forward to going to CTN-X this year and hopefully Andreas will be there again. I got some more questions.....
