2008 News July 2008 Full Sail University is an accredited school that offers degree programs in Computer Animation, Digital Arts and Design, Game Development, Graphic Design and much more. At the invitation of the head of the animation dept and all-around great guy, teacher Steve Akehurst, Mark had a full agenda for his 2 day visit to the Full Sail campus. After his hour-plus long presentation, Mark was carted around the campus for a tour of the mind-boggling Full Sail facility.
 Back to Steve Akehurst. Steve is a comic book fan and also primarily responsible, along with some truly gifted students, for working on a 3D Banana Tail computer-generated project, that should soon be completed and possibly be made available through this site. Banana Tail was brought to Steve, by a, now graduate and teacher at Full Sail, Math Smith, who's early 3D anaimtion can be seen here at this website. I can't thank these 2 guys enough... Ted Isla, President of the Full Sail SIGGRAPH Chapter and Apple Campus Representative, wrote about Mark's visit in his website. "The Full Sail SIGGRAPH chapter welcomed professional comic book artist Mark McKenna to speak to Full Sail University students about his 25 year experience in his industry. McKenna went over the start of his career, the business, and story conception of his independent children’s book titled Banana Tail." "McKenna was honest and very encouraging about achieving your goals. During Q&A he gave sincere advice to the students on becoming a professional artist. What I enjoyed most about McKenna’s presentation today was his down to Earth personality and thick New York accent. We welcome Mr. McKenna to come back to our campus any time in the near future."

Thinking that Full Sail was a small, single building complex, Mark's eyes were opened wide by the sheer attack of technology on his senses. Motion Capture rooms, full recording studios, indoor and outdoor stage sets and so much more. Needless to say, Full Sail is a serious, big time multimedia university.
