Granted I avoided technical terms, but the kid was getting it! In fact he would often confirm his comprehension by stating an example comparison: 'Like the way mommy took a bunch of pictures to make Rudolph walk across the table'. I compared sculpting to Play-doh, texture painting to, well, painting ( that one was easy), rigging armatures to human skeletons and posable action figures, animation to stop-motion-photography - none of which seemed to confuse him. So he came over and was very attentive as I explained the absolute basics. Ok then - Maybe my neighbor, Emitt, would be able to grasp the concepts. My wife reasoned that the children she nannies commonly navigate an iPhone very well, even before being able to speak. Then again, I've heard that young children are better able to understand complex things (like a second language) than if they're introduced to them later like high school or adulthood. This was intriguing to me since I feel it can be difficult to explain computer animation to a 30-year-old, much less a child. So he asked his mom to set up a time that I could give him a brief demo.

As a big fan of the ' How To Train Your Dragon' films he was intrigued to learn that his neighbor does computer animation for a living. My 5-year-old neighbor is like a lot of boys his age: Energetic, imaginative, loves superheroes/dragons/animals/cartoons, and enjoys learning.
