My graduation argument was him. That man is the person who marked my "possible future job"; I'm going to study Animation Cinema in order to be a director of Anime films/series.
The Wind Rises is probably one of my favourites... Everytime I see it I need to go to our local "airport" to see the Caproni Ca.3 replica we got there...

To work with "classical animation techniques" ? If so, this is brave !!!

They are not numerous now (because of the low profitability of traditional productions [sad])

But with the "motion design" trend, 2D will perhaps come back strong [yesnod]
 
Being a fan of animation myself, the one thing about animation I've learned is cost is priority #1.
And that's what makes cartoons brilliant. This mentality produces minimalist designs that are absolutely beautiful when put in motion. Limitations produce creativity. [yesnod]
 
Lets change the subject. What is your most embarrassing moment you have had in your life?

Mine was about twenty years ago, when I was a truck driver here in the UK (yes I'm British).
Whilst driving up the M6 motorway, I needed to pull in at the next services which was about four miles away, as I was becoming desperate for a number two. Within 10 minutes, I was parked up on the truck park and rushed full steam ahead for the toilets. In fact I just made it in time. But to my horror, whilst inside the cubical, I heard women's voices . Yes, you have guessed it, being in a hurry, I had not looked at the signs and had entered the Ladies, instead of the Gents.
It was a rather busy part of the day around lunchtime and lots of people were visiting the toilets. I was in there for over an hour, before everything went quiet, so now was my chance to do a quick exit. As I was leaving I bumped into the cleaning lady, who was entering the toilets with her mop and bucket, when she said
" Your in the wrong loo me duck, this is the ladies"
"Tell me about it" I replied, as I casually made my way back to the truck park, but feeling much relieved.
So always make sure you are entering the correct toilets, if you are in a hurry!

I cannot say the MOST embarrasing moment of my life (because it's a public forum, and there is some kids here)

But one of the most embarassing was when I was younger (still a teenager). I was in a event, called "Toro Piscine" (I dont know the english word for that, but it's an arena, with a pool in the middle, everybody are on the fences, on all side, and you have jump in the pool in the middle, avoiding the bull running towards you). It's a dangerous game yes, but very popular in the south of France. Anyway, I was completely petrified, unable to move, when the commentator says "Hey you ? The young man with a shirt, go ahead" so I took my courage in both hands, I jump in the arena, and I start to run. And here, the bull grabs my shorts with a horn, and I end up, without pants, in the middle of an arena of hundreds of people laughing.

I am glad that "smartphones" and "youtube" was not (yet) a trend ... [rolleyes]
 
Okay - maybe this would be a good place for this - My nice gaming rig had some kind of a problem today that I thought a restart would fix. Nope. The system would not restart properly, and I actually ended up having to reset it to default. So, after all this was done, I happened to notice that when I right click on my desktop, the "NVidia Experience" is gone from the flyout, and the "Nvidia Control Panel" is non-responsive. Can't get it to come up. It's not a huge issue, but it would be nice if I could get it to come up if I want it. I got the "NV-E" working fine, but it's still absent from the flyout.

I did a search and found someone talking about rolling back the video driver, and then reinstalling it, something about an incapability with chipset drivers - but that info is a year old. Any thoughts on this?

NVIDIA Experience has given me plenty of trouble before. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling using the latest update from their website?

Actually, the only thing I've used Nvidia Experience for is to get current drivers. It has all these other aspects, that frankly, I don't even know what they're for. Are you talking about uninstalling the whole NVExp package, or just the video driver? To answer your question - No, I haven't tried that yet.
