Hi Guys,
I know this is rushed but I just saw this and I thought it might be interesting for some of you, There’s going to be a Portfolio Review event tomorrow at TAXI, apparently it’s quite the event where you present your work to at least three creative directors from Vancouver, in a speed-dating kinda setup.
Check it out here, there’s only seven tickets left I believe.

A quick walk thru on developing the Finish Line Shoes brand commercial you might have seen. Project involve camera tracking in 3D, then using 3D data to bring into After Effects for animation.
One of the commonly asked question in my Pixel Art class is where do you see/use pixel art within our fields. They mainly appear in the Gaming industry where handheld device always needed. Also a lot of icons, buttons, or even the entire websites /applications interface are done using pixel arts.
And of course now that pixel art is becoming an art form where people used it as a design solutions. And here’s an example of it.
We always talked about matching sound and visual. Syncing the motion with music. This is a perfect example:
MP4 or this YouTube version….
Where are they? So many people in that class and I think I saw only one of them - Pablo’s final project (amazing work btw, cool concept and some crazy actionscripting there). Where are all the motion productions from dd09? Don’t be shy now and post… !
Here is as lively talk about the future of interaction design from cyberpunk author/legend Bruce Sterling. It was the closing lecture at the ‘Innovationsforum Interaktionsdesign’ conference in Potsdam, Germany. He painted a weird and wonderful vision of the future filled with biometrics and wireless money transfers. Probably one of the best futurist rants I’ve heard in a long time. He shoots down talking computers (think Mr. Clippy) and runs through a piece of the large list of technologies that were assimilated by the cell phone. Check it out, you’ll feel like a better person at the end. I swear.
p.s. - The ‘Innovationsforum Interaktionsdesign’ was one of the most important conferences on interaction design in 2007. All presentations from the conference are available as videos on the conference site (note that many of the lectures are in German).

I wanted to give all current students and alumni a heads up about some Papervision 3D 2.0 training coming to Vancouver on May 3rd and 4th. It is presented by the Rich Media Institute and you will be trained by Papervision 3D core team member John Grden. If you are interested in the course let me know because if enough people are going to go I can get you a group rate.

Hi Guys,
I think you should know why you all saw Danny almost every night at school for the past couple weeks, well, Danny was working non-stop on three videos for the GRAPHEX 2008 Gala.
Paperium is a unique digital pen. The thing that makes this a bit different then most digital pens is that it can save your artwork as vectors. This will probably seem like a to good to be true device to those that cherish the pen and hate the tablet. A bit pricey at 229.00 EUR, especially since you need their special paper as well, but it’s still less then a big tablet.
