Dr. Ed Catmull, current President of Disney Animation and Pixar Animation Studios, spent the afternoon at the Academy of the Pacific to address the student body. In an all school assembly, Dr. Catmull spoke about what it means to allow yourself to make mistakes in the creative process. “Mistakes aren’t thought of as bad, they are just learning,” says Catmull. “If you say it’s very important not to make any mistakes, you’re saying it’s not very important to do something new. It’s better to fix mistakes than to prevent all of them”.  Read more about Dr. Catmull and his inspiring advice to AOP students…
