Thursday Skype talk after class: Dresscode!

 Dresscode. Two dudes from CCA [hey! That's where I went to school!] now living and working in Brooklyn NY [Hey! That's where I used to live!]. 

their website: http://dresscodeny.com

their book: http://neversleepbook.com

I checked out their website. Their motion graphics are an amazing combination of moving images, shapes and typography! Great inspiration for short story pacing, cropping, and editing; whether your final 12 image story will be moving or not.

Especially you typography and film nerds: check it out! Especially you, Bruno and Sean. And then go to the Skype chat and ask them specific questions about their work process! This is a great opportunity to pump these guys for story-telling mechanics and techniques! Figure out how these guys do what they do so you can begin to incorporate it into what you do!

Attend! Attend!

 The next installment of the Skype lecture series this Thursday after our class is a dual video chat battle between Chad Kouri (representing The Post Family of Chicago) and Will Bryant (representing Public School of Austin). Listen to them both talk about their booming freelancing careers along with working with a collective of talented fellows in their respective cities. 

 

I had the good fortune to work "alongside" Chad and Jesse Brown while we were all stationed in the Renegade shop for the Renegade Craft Fair this past September in Chicago. Here are some pics of Chad and Jesse's finished posters for their booth at the fair and their front window workspace for the week previous. Their project was called Life Long Work Week. Chad'll be a great person to ask about the process behind his work!

 

So, come to the Skype chat after class this Thursday, January 14th at Noon in room 170!
