The Visual Effects Society Bay Area Section in collaboration with Ex’pression College were proud to present “A Day of Inception” with Paul Franklin on Saturday, March 5, 2011, at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville. Franklin recently received an Academy Award at the 83rd Annual Oscars for his work as VFX Supervisor on Inception.

The program began with a keynote presentation, followed by Q&A. After the Q&A, the audience enjoyed a special screening of the movie Inception. Animation & Visual Effects students and faculty from Ex’pression College, as well as members of the VES Society, including employees from Pixar, attended the event. After the event, Franklin stopped at Ex’pression College for a tour, and to sign our Wall of Fame.
