Greetings from the Alumni Director, January 2009
Welcome to the first 2009 installment of ONEWS!
Otis has a new web site that we hope you agree is beautiful as well as improved in navigation. We have added links to Otis Facebook and Linked-In groups, so join in. Cruise around the site and check back for changing content, especially in the News and Calendar sections under “Quick Links” Included in this issue is a 2008 round-up of Class Notes from summer and fall alumni activities – you were busy! As always you can access past newsletters at www.otis.edu/alumni. Keep the news and images coming…

Ellen Jin Over with Tinkerbelle
Hi Sarah,
I am glad to join another alum in leaving an 'Otis' mark in Disneyland. Currently I am the art director on the second Tinkerbelle movie called 'Tinkerbelle and the Lost Treasure" that is scheduled to be released next year. And the teapot house was designed by me for the movie. The teapot house built at Disneyland now is at the 'meet and greet' in the area of 'Pixie Hallow'. This is just beginning. They will eventually build a ride based on Tinkerbelle movies, and my other designs from the movie will be an important part of the theme park experience.Thank you.
Ellen Jin Over
Art Director
Editor’s Note: Ellen is referring to John Hench (’28) who designed “Space Mountain” and other attractions at Disneyland.
24 Hour Performance
Saturday, February 21 – 22, 12PM – 12PM
Telethon Revisited
OTIS is pleased to partner with The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS) and Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) to reinvent an original happening orchestrated by Otis Alum Joe Potts ('77 MFA Fine Arts) in 1977. OTIS will host a live 24-hour performance extravaganza broadcast real-time via the internet. The audience can view the spectacle live from the comfort of its own homes or drop by the OTIS Screening Room for a sneak peek. Performers are a cross section of professional Los Angeles based artists involved with LAFMS and SASSAS, OTIS faculty, students, and staff. Instead of raising money, this telethon is about spending time, artistic experimentation, and broadband expression.
