10. have you know everything asked of you to do or have you had to teach your self new or forgotten things?
Mostly already Known, but little things have been shown to me, like tricks/tips, and things to consider

3 Big companies Id love to intern/work for:
Disney-Disney Pixar:
I chose Pixar because they worked against the odds off branching off classic 2D animation and into 3D animation even though many saw computer animation as technology only.  Pixar believed computer animation could be used to create something bigger. With the principles of classic animation and the technology of computer animation Pixar succeeded. To me Pixar is about inspiration, to inspire people to go beyond others perceptions.

Sony- Sony Pictures Animation:
Sony was going to sell Imageworks but couldn't find a buyer. They decided to try their hand at CGI animations. Sony Pictures Animation created Open Season and from it's success the Animation devision turned around a, at that time, failing part of Sony's company.  Sony could have cut Imageworks but instead Sony branched out and tried something new as a last hope. This decision turned out to be beneficial for them as on every project they have made more money than they put in to it. Not only do they have good animation they also aren't afraid to try new things.

Viacom-MTV Networks/ Nickelodeon:
Viacom has a strong business and entertainment grounding. The amount of entertainment brands they own is amazing.  Plus they also cater to all ages. From pre-schoolers with Nick Jr, to teens with Teen Nick, VH1 and MTV; to Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures for adults.
