Wow... so I know it has been awhile... so this is going to be a big post!
It's entirely too late to be typing this but I can't sleep, lol... I'm too excited for sleep ;)
This last weekend was amazing (to say the least)!!! I honestly don't know where to begin... so I apologize if I jump around :)
How about starting out with my first ever animation demo reel...
Teresa Nord Character Animation Reel 2009 from Teresa Nord on Vimeo.
Since my last post I have been super duper busy finishing up my short film in class 6 and putting this reel together.
I honestly cannot believe how much I've learned in such a short amount of time. It truly has been an amazing 18 months and I wouldn't change it for the world. Thanks so much to all of my friends, family, mentors, and of course all of the staff at Animation Mentor.
So.. I flew down to San Francisco Friday morning with my parents and we just got back tonight. Friday was a long haul since we got up at 3:30am to catch the plane in time to make it to the Animation Mentor Job Fair by 1pm. The Job Fair was so amazing though! I had such a great time not only talking to recruiters but also seeing all of my friends again and just ... I don't even have words for it.. it was awesome! I'm so convinced animators are the most fun people to hang out with ever! :)
btw- I didn't take a whole lot of pictures myself.. but I love a bunch of the photos Alexiss Memmott took and I dare say she wouldn't mind me posting them :)
Ok, so moving along..... Saturday... Saturday was a HUGE day :)
I graduated from Animation Mentor at Fort Mason, oh and btw the weather was beautiful.... (70 degrees in San Francisco in January and crystal clear? honestly? who could ask for anything more? ;)
TO BE CONTINUED IN SAME POST
(I don't think I can possibly write this entire post tonight.. I'm finally tired...so I'll try to get back to this tomorrow and finish it the rest of the way)

Congrats on the Graduation and your first Animation gig !!
Good luck :)
and yeah, Nice DemoReel !
Congratulations Teresa! YOU DID IT! It isn't very often that I get to follow a person from their humble beginnings all the way to their 1st job animating on a major feature film. It has been really exciting following your progress and you have been nothing short of graceful, friendly and a sweetheart. I applaud you for your perseverance, and I applaud your parents for supporting you, I am sure they are extremely proud of you. All the best, you will be missed, I will try and distract with an email from time to time to see how you're holding up.
TERESA~!!
