Busy end of year production schedules (Portland, I’ve never seen you so busy as a town near Christmas in all my years here!) and major life events have kept me from saying a giant Empirical Screen sized thank you to OMSI and the presenters for Short Film Saturday back in November.
It was a fantastic show and will definitely be repeated. Big, big thanks to Jacob Miller, Paul DeSilva, Joshua Cox, Toby Froud, Adam Sager, and David Manuel for putting up all of their hard work on the big screen and then dissecting it before our very eyes. It was a great morning and a great turnout. My only wish was that we could have gotten more time for Lessons Learned and especially David Manuel, who’s matte painting + Artrage presentation was nixed because of technical difficulties getting his Cintiq to project on the big screen.
It took a lot of preparation to put those presentations together, and I speak for everyone when I say thank you for taking the time out. And again, thanks to OMSI for the support and use of the theater.
Until next time! Which happens to be February 12th, with a screening of Orland Nutt’s short film “Bear of Heaven” and selections from his catalog, complete with Compositing breakdowns and behind the scenes. And also on the docket is AEMoji winner and talented illustrator + After Effects whiz Ben Luce, showing some of his killer techniques and recent projects. More info to come, stay tuned!
