By Jessica Kausen For The Summer Titan [email protected]

Chris Allison, fourth-year Animation student at Cal State Fullerton, doesn’t vie for the spotlight. He’s more of a behind-the-scenes kind of guy. The 22-year-old San Diego native has won praise from professionals and peers, but he won’t be the first to tell you. “I’m a goofball,” Allison said as he perched at an animation table during his animation production class. The classroom is adorned with movie post- ers and student sketches. Being goofy seems to come with the territory. Yet animation at CSUF is seri- ous business. “Cal State Fullerton has the best ani- mation program of any state school ... At this school, it’s not just a bunch of teachers telling you what the industry wants, the industry comes here,” Allison said. The program is intense and can be ex- tremely taxing on a student’s life. “It takes a lot of time. I don’t have time to just ‘hang out’ anymore. Artists are like athletes, you really have to train to do this stuff,” Allison said. And though he said his friends and family are fully supportive of his career path, they do miss him. “It’s very hard for him to be sponta- neous,” said Bryan Price, one of Allison’s closest friends and his former room- mate. “He has no time, we have to plan two weeks in advance to hang out.” Allison’s intense focus may pay off, said Professor Dana Lamb, head of the animation department. “Chris is a natural. To be honest with you, there are a lot of people who go through animation programs, they train and they do really good work. But there’s some people that are just natural anima- tors. Chris was born to do this ... The industry is really only interested in your talent, your determination and your dis- cipline. Chris has the passion that can carry him through it,” Lamb said.
