Just a reminder about this unique opportunity...
Dear Film, Game, Music and Entertainment People, Friends, Investors and Fans,
WHAT: The Network Austin Mixer
WHEN: Wed May 11, 2011 - 6 PM
WHERE: Baby Acapulco�s - 5610 North IH-35, Austin TX 78751
WHO: Everyone involved in entertainment media... and YOU!
GUEST SPEAKER: Reid Reasor - Master of computer animation!
Baby Acapulco�s - 5610 North IH-35, Austin, 78751 � is on the southbound I35 Frontage Road on the west side of I35, south of the Koenig Lane / I35 / US 290 East intersection. Baby A�s is an Austin institution, and we meet in the large back room with HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS until 7 PM!��
We are honored to have Reid Reasor as our Guest Speaker on Wed May 11, 2011. Reid is a senior animator at IdeaCorp and has animated since 1992. He became interested in computer animation when his two-year old son was diagnosed with severe autism, but showed a tremendous affinity for computers and visual graphics. Reid earned a Masters Degree in Interactive Computer Graphics from Arizona State University, and started IdeaCorp to provide a �father-son� company. He then combined his education with knowledge he gained while developing virtual environments and simulators at the Air Force Research Laboratory to invent a process using commercial �off the shelf� software to provide �green� and �blue� screen animations to assist �start up� film makers.
Actors, filmmakers, wardrobe & lighting folks, directors, writers, and others in the media should join us on Wed May 11 at 6 PM @ Baby A's and make use of this rare opportunity to learn from Reid Reasor, a master in his field. Reid's presentation will begin at 6:45, and will include projecting onscreen what his work involves, and explaining the technology available and how it affects all those involved in filmmaking.�
It is Reid�s belief that current animation power is available to local filmmakers at affordable prices, however, there is a larger need for efficiency in planning in the animation sequences due to the longer PC based rendering times. His upcoming presentation is geared for directors, producers, actors, and screen writers as an introduction to the animation process and some of the planning issues involved. There will be several examples of animations and open discussion during the presentation. Come prepared to ask, add and learn from each other.
Specific topics that Reid will cover include:
���� Practical film elements or CGI - when should we use what?
���� The 3D and 2D environments - when can they meet?��
���� The animation process - is there more than one? Tailoring the process
���� Planning �green� screen events - what to take from the set to the CC, or vice versa
���� Wardrobe and set planning� - material colors, light discipline,� actor reference points
���� Preparing to act in a �green� screen event � know the visual �intent� then visualize, visualize, visualize your every move well prior.
Reid's extensive 3D experience includes:
���� Masters Degree of Technology in Interactive Computer Graphics from Arizona State
���� The Plea; Award winning full length feature film by Lightwave LLC;� green screen and movie CGI for featurescapes; actor interaction with 3D environments with characters
