I always learn new things when I got to capstones. Sometimes I get a chance to network with other artists, see what they are doing, learn about new software or media, writing a story arch and showing it in different ways, etc...
I get to see what interested them enough to make them revolve their school life around it, and I get to see what is really hot in the industry and at school. I also get to see what I might one day be up against in the job market, and gauge my own expectations and skills to theirs.
That sounds a bit sly and sneaky, but I can't help having a competitive nature about me. And for many more, I want to follow their progress and give encouragement, since I could soon be in their shoes, struggling to get a foot hold. The winter capstones are always kind of subdued compared to the spring capstones, but I am still always able to learn much.
