THE BIG PICTURE

DreamWorks Animation Campus

During our visit to DreamWorks Animation for the Samsung reviewers' workshop, we weren't allowed to take photos inside any of the buildings (except the motion-capture stage where the event was held), but we were free to take pictures of the grounds. Here are a few of my shots to give you an idea of just how idyllic the place is.

The top of the stairs overlooking the central lagoon affords a beautiful view.

The lagoon area serves as a central meeting place for company-wide events.

Resident ducks return to the lagoon each year to nest and hatch their ducklings, who play on the lotus pads while Mom looks on.

This switchback ramp provides an interesting visual image and good exercise, I imagine.

In addition to free meals, other amenities are offered to employees, including yoga classes. No wonder DreamWorks Animation is considered among the best places to work!

Wow, the DreamWorks Animation grounds sound amazing! The mention of the lagoon and all those employee perks reminds me of when I was working on a project for essutumishiportal — we discussed how creating a welcoming environment, even digitally, can make a huge difference. It’s inspiring to see companies prioritize both beauty and well-being!

The DreamWorks Animation grounds sound absolutely incredible! The lagoon and employee perks make it feel like a dream workplace. It reminds me of when I worked on a project for ESS Utumishi Portal, where we explored how a well-designed digital space can enhance user experience and productivity. It’s always inspiring to see companies—whether physical or digital—prioritizing both aesthetics and well-being!
