Event Description:
On the heels of the first, super successful
workshop event, The Gnomon Workshop is presenting
our second workshop weekend, February 18th and
19th. It's a great way to kick off the new year, this weekend features
speakers in and out of the Gnomon Workshop library, presenting on subjects including
creature design, Photoshop®, Painter 9, Shake, concept design and poly modeling.
In addition, you'll also get a chance to meet some highly accomplished
artists who will take you inside their own personal projects, businesses and
processes.
This is a great opportunity to hear and watch artists who work in the industry
either you work in now, or would like to contribute to. We're thrilled to be
able to announce that the legendary Syd Mead will present his working process,
along with Mark Goerner, Chris Nichols, Mark Lefitz, Feng Zhu, Taron, Sparth,
J.P. Targete, Aaron Sims and Puddnhead. These artists have influenced the landscape
of concept design, visual effects and game design. In addition, they've produced
some seminal books and DVDs (that will also be available during the
event).
As we did last time, we are holding our recruiting room (last time, a couple
studios hired a few of our attendees). This is a great opportunity to meet recruiters,
supervisors and art directors.
Confirmed studios include Bungie, Disney Feature Animation, Digital Domain,
Sony Pictures Imageworks, NC Soft, Radium, Rhythm and Hues, and Electronic Arts
(and we'll post more on the website as we confirm them). Bring your portfolios;
bring your questions. Bring your curiosity.
Food, Places to Stay and More:
We'll provide light lunch, refreshments and surprises throughout the day (and
some fun entertainment Saturday evening). Seating is extremely limited, so
please make sure you register really soon.
If you're coming in from out of town, the fabulous and centrally located Roosevelt
Hotel will extend the Gnomon rate of about $169.00 for our event. Call 323.466.7000
and ask for the Gnomon rooms. (Book soon; this is now the
Hollywood hotspot hotel!).
The Econo
Lodge Hollywood is simple and super inexpensive and within walking distance.
It's
right
around
the corner from Gnomon and they're giving a 10 percent discount on their
already really low-priced rooms: Single rooms are $69/night; double rooms are
$79/night.
They're at 777 Vine Street, 323.463.5671. Ask for GT or Carol, and
tell them you're coming in for Gnomon.
If you want to find other accommodations, look around Santa Monica and Vine Street
(or west).
