Winter Park, FL April 3, 2010
Full Sail University (fullsail.edu), an entertainment media institution located near Orlando, FL, is proud to

celebrate Computer Animation (http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/computer-animation-bachelors) Bachelor of Science Degree Program graduate, Jack Geckler, for his work on DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon, an animated children’s film based on the popular book series, which was released in theaters this March.

Although this film is the latest release from DreamWorks studio, whose past animated features include: Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, this marks Geckler’s first time working on an animated children’s film, with his previous work consisting of live-action blockbusters such as The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and National Treasure: Book of Secrets.

“The education that students obtain at Full Sail University is not only grounded in teaching technical skill, but is fortified with providing a unique experience that leads our passionate graduates to successful careers in their chosen field,” said Pete Bandstra, Program Director of Computer Animation (http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/computer-animation-bachelors) and Game Art (http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/game-art-bachelors) for Full Sail University. “Watching Jack’s work on the big-screen inspires our current students, confirms our educational methods, and provides a cause for celebration within the entire Full Sail Family.”
