Abstract

Brigham Young University’s Animation program is well on its way to becoming legendary. With the combined heroism of the faculty, the students, the administration, and others, there has risen a collegiate experience that rivals that of private art institutions. Yet no university program has room enough for all the knowledge and skills needed for specialty occupations, and so perhaps the greatest success of any education is the transmission of the skills and desire to learn and discover. This has most assuredly been the case with the Animation program. My goal with this research and production project was to obtain for myself an education in what it takes to be an art director and leader in the animation and entertainment industries, and many positions therein require very highly developed artistic abilities. My desire was to discover how to obtain these abilities, obtain them, and then to compile my research into a book that could instruct others in the skills necessary to pursue this path for their own, so that others might follow suit and help to change the decay of moral values in the entertainment industry and in society.
