Yeti Farms Creative Tour

It was on the day of November 15th at approximately 1:30 that I made my way through the golden gates of Yeti Farms Creative and into the  real world of animation. Lining the walls was art of all kinds: abstract paintings of twisted faces and warped characters, little stick-it notes of evening doodles, a white-board wall of fame, framed photos of workers past and present, even a little puppet lofting on the sofa (a key team player according to Todd). And the Yetis, there were many in every way, shape, and form.

Yes it was all quite surreal, a building chalked full of artists such as myself creating something seen all around the world. Needless to say I was blown away. But beyond my blubbering admiration I discovered the grit and work put into an animation studio. Rows and rows of people intensely focused on their part of the production, hustling to deliver on time. The atmosphere reminded me of time spent with my classmates, with less of the goofing off and unnecessary panic.
We were able to have some questions answered by our tour guide, Todd. He told us what to expect in the workplace, how we should organize our portfolios, and even the simplified version of how to get our own work out into the world.
It was simply inspiring and has since filled me with a sense of excitement and ambition that I will use to propel me towards my future as an animator.
