Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.
When I was in architecture school, rather than giving us drafting boards and t-squares and lead pencils and stuff they gave us all the same tools that places like Digital Domain and ILM used to make features films or special effects. They gave us all these digital tools like Alias and Mya and Soft Image and all these kind of high-end computers, so I came out of architecture school knowing how to use all that stuff. And I started making short films at night.
I always had some kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.
