Mentor Profile

I am still struggling with my idea about capstone however it is definitely a 3D production which goes under two category that I am interested, short 3D Animation, or Modeling. Whatsoever I have in my mind and I am pretty interested about it is a Architected Model. I was thinking maybe a city modeling, not exactly complete city and entire town but part of it like down town of Indianapolis, or Carmel, or just Modeling a specific building, not exactly famous one but valuable in Architected view. There are different component that I am looking to choose mentor which goes in this categories. I think mentor has to be knowledgeable but also to know how to transfer this knowledge to the student to, I know this is not going to be a one by one teacher student class but still this transformation of information will happened. I think mentor has to be little flexible and not very stone minded and let student to play their role. Availability of mentor is something important too, and how he can play a major role to decrease the stress level for student is something important too. But most important for me is how much I can and I am comfortable with him or her, personally I do not need to be buddy with my mentor and this is not what I mean by comfort but having a warm relationship during capstone process would be so helpful for student. Mentors that are in my mind are: Albert, and Clint so far, I know Mattew Power is amazing but he is already out of time. I had and have classes with all three of them and I am very comfortable working with them, they all are very knowledgeable and very friendly and great project managers. All are very expert on what they are doing about 3D, specially Modeling and short Animation. 
I still did not talk with any of them but have plan to have meeting with Albert and Clint at least till next week to see how this will work for me and them.
