Yuriko, who runs Blim is really nice and helpful. If you are interested, give her a call or e-mail to register.
Not the most sexy blog post this one, but probably one of the most useful for your research. Below is a link to a PDF that we are using to research for creating a persona for one of DesignStamp’s clients. I think it would be very useful for you to read and possibly borrow from, should you be in the research phase for your projects today, or in the future. (all based on research that is far more extensive than what we can usually do on our own)
The Canadian Awards for the Electronic and Animated Arts (CAEAA) handed out statuettes named the Elan last Thursday evening at the RiverRock casino. The evening’s host was Canadian sci-fi legend William Shatner. VFS made an exceptionally strong showing in the student catagories with 16 nominations - including sweeps in the categories of Best Motion Design and Student game of the Year. Graduates from the VFS Digital Design, Game Design, Sound Design, and Classical Animation program all received Elan statuettes.
Pius Jung-Kit Chan took home the Elan for Best Motion Design for Backbone Medley. He beat out equally strong work from 3 other VFS superstars Chris Abbas (Aeleris), Debbie Sun (Fly, Fly), and Ataporn Boonthaveetpat (EOZ).
All four projects can be viewed at the VFS Digital Design showcase
A complete list of nominees and winners is available from the CAEAA site.
One is pressed to cite an example of an active, self-contained, and characteristic credits sequence in film prior to the work of Saul Bass. Undoubtedly, there are examples that presage Bass’ pioneering work; namely, the famous final credits of Citizen Kane reprise excerpts from the film, underscoring the footage with actors’ names. Likewise, overtures frequently preceded films of the ‘30s and ‘40s. Many of these are visually complimented by static credits, and in some cases a montage. And despite these examples, in regard to innovation, renown, and influence, Bass’ impact in credits design remains virtually unparalleled, even to this day.
Yesterday, Ingrid had her first class of the advanced 2D graphics elective. Students were given a slew of creative materials to play with: ink, a sorted papers, paint, soap, tooth picks, an aquarium full of water. You can check out some of the results below.
Thanks Stefan for specifically pointing out Joshua Prince-Ramus and Jeff Han’s presentations. Everyone: You got to see Jeff Han’s presentation even if you don’t see any of the others!
