Siggraph 2010!

Once again, I come to recommend signing up for Siggraph 2010! It's an opportunity you *don't* want to miss!

If you have questions, please email me artcenter.animationclub@gmail.com!

Also, Animation Club is going along quite well - Eva, Auston, and Nick are official members, and we'll be putting work up here, just to give you some idea of how we work!

JOIN! Trust me, you won't regret it. :)

New Semester, New Club

We're alive and well!
(Well, except for the cold & flu bugs going around).

Eva has taken responsibility over Animation club on Fridays and I have been offering club on Thursdays, but it appears that the majority of the attendees are going friday - so I've turned more into the legislative branch, organizing and pumping news to Eva.

I'm in a bit of a crunch for time now, so I can't give you a full update (Siggraph and all), but remember - you can email us if you have any questions!

Taking a little time...

Sorry all, for the long no-post season, but we've had a bit of slowing and re-arranging going on. Eva is down in Mexico, and I'm sort of the only one here, trying to wade my way through siggraph emails and self imposed trip-preparation work. Not that I'm complaining! It's just kind of imposing - seeing this is sort of my first shot at being an Animation Club president.

Siggraph happens on August 2nd to the 8th, and the 6 members going have decided to road-trip it, staying at a nearby hotel. We'll probably be leaving the 31st of July, and 5 of us will be driving back. I'll be staying behind to catch another event and attend a friend's wedding.

Due to the very small amount of students attending the summer session at TACDC, and the amount of work I've been doing, there unfortunately hasn't been any Animation Club over the summer - nor will there be. Animation Club is going to be postponed until next semester - where we'll have stories about Siggraph to tell and more students to teach!

That's all for this post! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at artcenter.animationclub@gmail.com!

Double post!

Making up for two weeks time, with this post!
Because we've been so busy with schoolwork, Animation Club has been formatted more like a class. Eva and I have decided to go ahead and try to enter for this month's 11 second club competition with a 2D animation! If you still want to enter, you've got plenty of time, but if you'd rather not, we're going to have a couple of things to do when Eva comes back from Mexico!

Other events going on this week involve the Open Gallery at our school, The Art Center Design College! Come and visit for free food and lots of well-crafted, hand-selected gallery worthy pieces.

We'll find out for sure about Siggraph in April, but things are looking good - we're getting word that the instructors we've used for reference have been contacted by Siggraph personnel, though they won't tell us any of the "classified" goods.

The Yard Sale on April 4th is moving along slowly, but surely, and Game Day is in the works, but still far enough out there in the distance that we're not worried.

Now, we won't be meeting on this Friday, as it's Spring Break, and Eva will be in Mexico, and I'll be in California, but the week after, we'll be back to our regular location, in the bookstore from 11-12pm.

That's a very brief summary, for sure, but if you have any questions about animation, joining, or even just keeping updated, EMAIL US!!
