Annual studio reviews with several students from Liam Young's Entertainment & Media studio at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles.
I had a great time sitting with students, discussing their work, and providing feedback on their projects. The creativity and innovation displayed by the students were such that it kinda made me want to join in — and reminded me of the vibrancy that one feels sitting in a studio type environment, although Sartre did say that “hell is other people” imagining a resonance of action, activity, sharing, creativity and even the occasional micro-antagonism had me feeling back to such times.
Or maybe I am wondering about the feelings I have working solo in the studio here. In any case, it was inspiring to see how they are exploring the perimeters and boundaries of design, technology and a kind of storytelling in the context of entertainment and media. Good stuff. Always an easy “yes” when Liam invites me over.
