Politics got you down? The art world sucks? Bring your issues to a workshop with Kathe Kollwitz and Frida Kahlo, founding members of the Guerrilla Girls. In two and a half hours, the Guerrilla Girls will take you through the chaotic process of brainstorming, collective give-and-take and larger group input that has helped them perfect their own brand of in-your-face activist work for the last 20 years. And get some career advice about ethics and the art world along the way. Aestheticize your anger!

:: November 11, 2008: Camera Mapping at AniMotion NM
UNM Instructor Brad Swardson will be presenting a lecture on camera mapping at the 11/11 AniMotion NM meeting. Brad holds a bachelor's degree in art studio with a concentration in electronic arts from UNM and is completing his master's degree in broadcast design and motion graphics through the Savannah College of Art and Design. He works as a Maya generalist for Boeing and teaches 3d animation and visual effects at UNM.
Description:
In a small production group the number of artists and time allowed for production may be limited, but the expectations of the customer are not. As such, we must develop techniques and work flows that allow us to create the best visuals in the least amount of time. This must be done while keeping the final product competitive with groups that are much larger and have more resources.
One of the many time saving techniques available to artists is called "Camera Mapping." This technique is widely used in film and television, in conjunction with digital matte painting, to bring non-existent environments to life without having to generate the entire environment in 3D. This presentation will include examples and walkthroughs of this technique being used in Maya and After Effects for use in both environmental creation and live set extensions.
