Sketchbook 〰️

First time inside Disney Animation in Burbank, CA! At our Emmy FYC, scenes from "Sketchbook" were screened along with a panel of artist/animators. The series brings us closer to our favorite characters and their animators. Here, my vlog features clips from Mark Henn's story. Dubbed "The Princess Guy" for his wonderful work on leading ladies, details of how he made it in the biz offers such heart and inspiration. He likens an animator to an actor with a pencil. Watch as he draws "Simba," from The Lion King and also take a look inside and what's on the walls of the building. You know, when I was a little girl, Disney animators went out in the Disneyland park, and at that time the lines to get them to draw a transparency, the cool tech of the day, were overwhelming. But I got one! Then, I watched Walt Disney lead the parade, finishing with a wave up in Cinderella's castle. Sweet memories!

Vlogger Cafe: FYC The After Party

So great to reconnect with Chris Miller and Phil Lord at The After Party FYC! I love how creative these two guys are. I have to say it again, what a treat to be featured in Xavier’s Imma Live Forever music video! Thank you guys. xoxox

P.S. The Hollywood American Legion Post 43 houses a lot of history. The theatre has updated seating for movies and screenings and there are rooms that are full of old photos and posters and a lot of that Old Hollywood dark wood vibe. I’ve included a few shots of the interiors.

Here’s some fun from the FYC!

Vlogger Cafe: FYC Outlander

It is so great to be back in our lovely state-of-the-art Wolf Theatre at the Television Academy! And what a fantastic evening watching the first episode of Outlander Season 6 and listening to the cast, the writer, and co-producer share their thoughts on the work.

Enjoy!
