WEEK 9: 'Field Trip' Friday, March 11th, 12 pm - 1:30 pm CASO presents Paul Griffin_Animation 2.0 "The Next Level" on March 11th! Reserve your seat today!

Hey, everybody -

Hope you had a great break and aren't as sick as I am right now!

There's a very cool event happening Friday and with Jean-Paul's permission I've decided to make it a "Field Trip". For the DESN1119C class, this means this event IS your class, so you are expected to be there unless you can't afford it.
For the DESN2022A class, I realize you may have another class at this time. Please let me know so I can contact your teachers to find out what they think.  I would definitely like you to be there.

CASO (Computer Animation Studios of Ontario) has invited all of you to to a lunchtime talk:

"Animation 2.0 "The Next Level"
with Paul Griffin.

You may not have heard of Paul Griffin, but you've definitely seen his work.  His credits include:
Animation Supervisor :
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter video game, cinematic sequences,  Benjamin Button, The Mummy, Pan's Labyrinth, King Kong, Fantastic Four, Mr & Mrs Smith
Lead Animator:
Star Wars, Ep I & II - ILM
Animator:
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - Weta



It's very rare in Toronto to have a chance to hear someone of this calibre speak about high-level character animation.

Events like these can inspire you to take your work to a higher level.

Cost: just $10 which is a super-deep-discount I negotiated for you (regular price: $40!). That includes a brown bag lunch!

Date/Time: Friday, March 11th, 12 pm - 1:30 pm.  Arrive a little early to register. (There was a line-up last time.)
Location: the NFB, 150 John Street just north of Richmond, accross from the Scotiabank Cinema.

CASO would like to know how many to expect.
