Allow me to brag; SNL

Last edited Sun Apr 7, 2019, 01:23 PM - Edit history (1)

Our son made the final cut last night! He created the GoT Sequals Arya animation, and is getting attention. I haven’t even seen it yet. I’ll watch on Hulu later (but I got to see it while he was working on it). I think our boy is going places!

Edited to add name of sketch.

The sketch was weak, but he didn't write it. He created the posters hanging on the walls, and the logos and user interface for the Earthware3 video game. Two different sketches! He had a big night. I almost feel bad for him -- he worked remotely from our house in New Hampshire, and wasn't able to attend the usual after parties. Still a pretty big high, though.

Asking because my son did. The college offers a highly respected gaming animation degree. My son chose a different major, much to our surprise.

Happy for your son!
