Orland Nutt screening Bear of Heaven

 

Quick thanks and a shout out to Orland Nutt and Ben Luce for their great presentations at the last meeting.  Powering through some technical difficulties with the presentation laptop being at a different aspect ratio from the screen that was being projected, Ben’s pixel art technique was well received by all.  “That’s how everyone is getting that retro 8bit look!” (or in Ben’s case, 16 bit – “Super Nintendo!”) was a phrase heard many times after the meeting.  It made for an explosive demo, if the “oohs” and “aaahs” were any indication every time Ben said, “Boom!”

And thanks to Orland for rolling with the punches when we couldn’t read his hard drive, and doing the presentation entirely from Vimeo clips.  He has some rare before/after footage from Bear of Heaven that hopefully will see the light of day somehow – we’re working on it!  In any case, unforgettable imagery from Orland and a huge thanks for taking the time out.

IMG_5770The Ebay Lounge was a great venue with the only flaw being we couldn’t figure out how to turn down the automated lights to help better view the projector.  A small glitch in an otherwise fantastic setup and the Ebay office may very well become the default for future meetings.

 

 

Next up – a big night of SideFX Houdini is being planned for April.  Will keep you informed…  watch this space!

AEPDX presents The Burst!

Posted on by

Another great event from the ADPDX brain trust, pushing some collaboration unlike anything we’ve seen in a while.  It’s The Burst!
 theburst
The Burst is a rather unique spin the bottle between Portland’s top Illustrators and Motion Designers. We’re giving teams an entire week to collaborate and show Portland what they are made of. Each randomly paired up team (1 Illustrator and 1 Motion Designer) has exactly 1 week to put their heads together to design and animate a 15-30 second masterpiece.
We’ll give them the theme, and then cut them loose. After a week we get together and throw a big party in their honor, have some drinks, and show everybody their creations.
There will, of course, be prizes.
1st: Adobe CC 1 Year
2nd: Wacom Intuos Pro Small 
3rd: Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks 2.5
 
The Burst party and screening is on the evening of Thursday, April 24th.
Time: 6:30 – 9PM
Place: 52LTD (http://52ltd.com/location/portland/)
Grab your tickets here! (http://theburst.eventbrite.com/)
