General Meetings/ Hangouts

On the last Tuesday of each month at 7pm (except January), meet up at the General Meeting and talk animation over drinks.

Animation Directors Round Table

The first Wednesday of each month at 7pm at The Brew House (except January) is The Animation Director's Round Table meeting. It is an accountability and support meeting for people who are trying to make their own films or large projects. These meetings are based upon reviewing progress, sharing ideas, and setting goals for ourselves. It's a great meeting if you have a project that you would like to work on and need people to provide moral support and motivation. Brew House is at 1047 E McMillan St, Cincinnati, OH 45206

Making Business Not Failure Part 2: Proposals and Contracts

He's probably trying to sell her an explainer video. Business Proposals and Marriage Proposals have similarities. They are both an offer that will hopefully lead to a leap of faith in the form of a "yes" on the proposee's part. The proposer puts thought into the presentation and tries to emphasize the positive in order to influence a "yes." When saying yes to a marriage proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome to be married to and that you will not waste the life you are requesting. And in a project proposal, the target is trusting that you will be awesome at completing the project you are proposing and that you will not waste the money you're requesting. Before any money changes hands or work starts there needs to be a proposal at least. The proposal is like a contract, only it's more informal. I tend to use proposals, but if I were dealing with larger projects where my risk is greater I would use a contract. Contrac...

Adobe Creative Cloud Petition

The Cloud approacheth. Hey everyone! So we were talking about the Adobe Cloud changes that were coming up and we are going to put together some information in the hopes of basically petitioning Adobe to not suck. Since then I have found and signed this petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-incorporated-eliminate-the-mandatory-creative-cloud-subscription-model It also has more information about it that I read first like faqs from adobe etc. I don't feel like just signing an online petition will necessarily do anything though, but it can't hurt. I also found his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/adobecreativecloud And I have also found some numbers: Basically, if you are someone who updates your software version every couple of years the cloud would be ok for you. If not, then it's a drain of money. If I had purchased cloud instead of the last version I purchased, I would have paid $4000 by now fo...

A model at your beck and call- Updated

Posemaniacs - I went to Christina Wald's class at NKU last week and had a nice time- we were talking about drawing and gesture drawing and one of the students mentioned this website- I checked it out and it looks pretty useful. There are timed poses that you can use to practice gesture drawing at home, and the figures are flayed so you can see their musculature. Also you are able to rotate the figure as needed to understand better why certain things look the way they do- and enable or disable a grid overlaying the image. Very cool! Do you have any drawing reference sites that you like to use? www.posemaniacs.com PIXELovely - this site has a timed setting as well as the option to choose nude or clothed figures, and it also has a section on animals! The site is also working on getting enough donated to start a section based on practicing hands and feet, which would be great as well. http://artists.pixelovely.com/ Figure Drawing Reference on Tumblr - ...
