I'm sorry I had to miss this presentation, it sounds like it was a good one.
Ahh the digital age. We all have the power now to do whatever we want. We don't need a $50,000 camera and a hundred million to shoot a flic - all we need is maya, after effects, photoshot and final cut. Visual masterpieces in the true sense can be created in one's own room.
The thing that Terrence said that I remember the most is something along the lines of, "don't just lock on to Pixar or Dreamworks - with the set of skills you'll have when you're finished with school u can do so many diverse things, you would not believe." And judging from his description of his own career, in our world today, for the person who is trained both in art and engineering (in a way CG is kind of engineering and at least it promots logical and technical thinking), the possiblities of employment are virtually limitless.
It would be f*%$#ing cool to work for Pixar though....
