Tuesday, March 10th, AniMotion NM was proud to host an evening with Alex Lindsey of Pixel Corps. Alex did a fabulously in depth presentation on Green Screen techniques, tips and tricks to an audience of roughly 70 animators, VFX and Motion Graphics artists.
The evening was a combination of lighthearted banter mixed with tech talk and explanations on how to achieve a quality key. The audience was an interesting mix of film, TV, and gaming folks, but everyone seemed to take something away from Alex’s presentation.
I was pleased to learn that there were quite a few attendees who had driven down from Santa Fe for the event. In addition, Sony Imageworks had a fairly good-sized contingent in attendance. It was nice seeing their familiar faces in the crowd.
As always, Elaine and Becky from the Adobe User Groups, Zocoloco and motion09 brought great Adobe swag and names were drawn out of all the tickets people brought to get into the event.
Art Center students, Jake Mirabal, Nikki Sandoval, Jon Kamps and Tey Guzman showed up early to help set up the event and Jake helped to wrangle the winners of the raffle in choosing their prizes.
The next AniMotion NM event is Tuesday, March 17th where Elaine and Becky are planning a movie night to get together as a group to watch the movie The Watchmen.
I am hoping that the large numbers that came to the March 10th event will come to future events and help to grow the animation, motion graphic and VFX community here in New Mexico. We have over 100 members currently in AniMotion NM and more are always welcomed.
