The degrees keep coming. Shallon Thorpe mentions that he has five of them, from colleges on both coasts (and in between). He earned a computer animation degree in the mid-1990s, then detoured into electrical engineering. He worked on a research paper on deep space propulsion in conjunction with NASA. 

    He then moved back his focus to study for his Bachelor's in computer animation, but that didn't stop there, his urge to learn different techniques and broaden his skills he went on the Academy of Art in San Francisco where he earned his Terminal Masters Degree in Animation and Visual Effects.
