Welcome! One and all to the 2011-2012 school year!

Lots of new and cool stuff is in store for the Mac Lab Media team, Mac Lab Mentors, and every other maclab-ian.

A couple things have happened over summer:

2/3 of last years team has graduated (Kyle and Chris.) BUT Kyle will be volunteering a LOT of his time to the Mac Lab this semester. Chris went off to Berkeley, what a loser (everyone go wish him good luck!) In response to this, we’ve recruited Vincent to help, but that’s not enough to fulfill the projects we will have to complete. If you’re interested, then tell Philip, Vincent, or Kyle; or just comment on this post.
A wall was torn down, in case you haven’t noticed. Our plan for this newly acquired space is to use it as a meeting place for Mac Lab Media to plan out and brainstorm ideas, and have a black, white, and (hopefully) a green screen in one corner so we can take pictures as needed and record videos in front of the green screen.
We moved the computers and tables around so that we have 10x more walking and elbow room. You’re welcome newcomers, you’ll never have to worry about elbowing a kid in the back of the head like us vets/alumnus. Lucky…
Philip, Christian, and Kyle have been following Freddiew (blocked at school) and Corridor Digital (blocked at school) and have been inspired (FINALLY) to start learning visual effects. we’re going to learn it and apply Skocko’s new way of grading to it as we learn. If you want to learn along side us, tell one of us or just comment on this post. Trust me, it’s more fun than it is work.

I’m sure there’s more, but I can’t remember.

Again, good luck and have fun this year! It’s sure to be fantastic.

DGA #2

We recently finished the DGA shoot. We couldn’t include anyone because each shot was the-day-of notice.

BUT: If anyone would like to become a Camera raw master, contact Chris or I.

Bad news and an opportunity

So, bad news first:

Mr. Owens deemed it too close for us to do his API video. Therefore we have to find a new way to teach the n00bz.

Now for the opportunity.

DGA, the company that we did the commercial and product shoots for, want more pictures taken because they changed the look of the headphones and packaging.

For those of you who really like photoshop and editing photos, we’d like to include you in the process this time.

~will add more information when the photo shoot date is determined~
