A:TLA Behind the Scenes

Here’s a short video of some behind the scenes stuff from Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Promise:

Since I already had the slides assembled I thought it’d take me 10 minutes to put this video together, but it took me FOREVER and a day. And I don’t think it turned out all that great. I’m getting old.

Also: Man, did Amazon surprise me. :)

The video seems a little quaint after all the Internet leakage that emerged last night, but I think Gurihiru’s thumbnails and pencils are too beautiful to keep from the light of day.  Hope you like looking at their art as much as I do!  Knocks the oogie right outta your day, doesn’t it? :) You can find Gurihiru’s English blog here.

To all of you who have expressed support, excitement, and enthusiasm for the book: THANK YOU!

Oh My Yangs! Three Yangs at MoCA

Last month, Jeff Yang (no relation), Wesley Yang (no relation), and I did a panel discussion on the merits of Tiger Parenting. Someone put a video of part of the discussion up on YouTube!

Unfortunately, the videographer did not catch the no-holds-barred cage match brawl that occurred immediately afterwards. (I won, in case you’re wondering. Jeff and Wesley are *weak*.)
