Animation club is, well, a club for those of us who like to see our pictures move and act on screen. Our original intent was to make short films and visit conventions - in fact, up until recently, we had been working on our short film "Phantom Thoughts", headed up by our President, Emmett Hamilton . Emmett was a fantastic leader; always encouraging everyone he encountered, and inspiring them to be something greater than what they were - pushing them to grow and change. Unfortunately, because of his upcoming graduation, he has resigned as President, and left the running of the club up to new, but hopefully just as able, members Eva and Auston.
We had our first official meeting on 2/6/09, and decided to change up a few things.
Animators helping Animators:
We wanted the new Animation club to be about teaching and helping each other, as we as doing a couple of group / club projects, such as participating in the 11 second club and occasionally submitting to larger festivals. Plus, who doesn't want some homework help?Film Fests, Cons and Speakers
With a new purpose, new leadership, and big plans for the future, we implore you to look around, stay a while, and heck, maybe even bookmark us! We'll let you know what we're doing, what plans we have, and alert you to any upcoming events (Whether you're a current student, hopeful candidate, fellow animator, or just interested in local events)!We want to travel! Face it, the real reason we got into animation is because we wanted get out and be somebody! So what a better way than with friends and fellow animators? We'll be doing multiple fundraiser events with the intent of working up enough cash to go to places like Siggraph, Motion, Comic-Con and the occasional First Friday Shorts at the Loft.
Next Meeting: Friday, in the bookstore, from 11 - 12 noon.
Bring: A smile!
