I met David Wolter when he was a student of mine at The Animation Academy in Burbank, California. He was very talented and I could see he had great promise in the work he was creating in the Character Design course he took. Later, he enrolled and was accepted at Cal Arts. The film he produced there is called 'Eyrie' and I'm happy to report that it's been nominated for a Student Academy Award in the Animation category sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The same group that handles the Oscars. You can see all the finalists for the 2012 Student Academy Awards here. Good luck David! Hope you bring it all home. Here's a look at Eyrie...
