That’s what you keep telling yourself. Well, why wait another year or another day?
The Northwest Film Center School of Film is offering an array of weeknight and weekend hands-on classes, starting throughout January. Write that romance you’re always thinking about, launch that documentary, meet other aspiring makers and creatives, get a leg up on entry level opportunities within the film scene, animate with an Oscar-winning director, or geek out with Super 8mm film (they still do that? YES!) and other technical workshops. Continue reading... “Stop Talking about your Film and Make It.”
Bring two-dimensional graphic artwork to life using Adobe Flash software on Apple digital workstations. Learn how animators create motion using techniques such as keyframes, squash and stretch, and metamorphosis. Animate video stills and/or scan in and manipulate your own artwork. Record the action frame by frame as you create your own animated sequences with your own recorded audio. The week will culminate in a screening for family and friends, complete with popcorn.

My name is Francesca. I am from Italy and I am a student at Bocconi University. I am studying Economics for the Arts, and my passion for cinema brought me to become an intern at the Oregon Film Office this summer.
As an intern and a student, I will have the opportunity to attend a special event: the screening of “Anonymous,” Roland Emmerich’s latest movie. In fact, The Concordia University Shakespeare Centre will bestow the “Vero Nihil Verius Award of Artistic Excellence” to Roland Emmerich during their annual conference (September 6th 2011 -9th 2011).

Oregon Film joins Concordia University in welcoming prominent Hollywood director and producer Roland Emmerich To Portland on Sept. 7, 2011. Emmerich will headline Concordia University’s Shakespeare Authorship Research Centre’s Fall Conference, Sept. 6-9 in Portland, Ore. His new film, Anonymous, speculates on a centuries-old question – did William Shakespeare really write the works attributed to him? – and offers one possible answer.
Two presentations are in store for the July 13th meeting of the Portland Final Cut Pro User Group (PDXFCPUG). First up is a visit with Red Giant‘s recently released Magic Bullet Suite 11. Demonstrations of “Looks 2” and “Cosmo” will be given.
We are excited to have the opportunity to work with NBC Universal this summer on greening the new series, “Grimm”. NBC Universal’s Television and Environmental Policy affirms they are, “committed to pursuing environmentally sustainable practices across all of our operations” and these are clearly laid out in their environmental policies that cover the production office, construction, on set and wrap. That’s great for the state of Oregon as well as the environment generally! Continue reading... “What Is Both Green And Universal At The Same Time?….”

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last year or two, you’ve probably seen the re-birth of 3D in the digital world, and you may have some questions…
How does it work?
Do you always need to wear glasses?
Why does it give me a headache?
How different is production?
Post production?
What editing tools are available? FCP? Avid?
How can I distribute 3d content? BluRay? Web? Mobile?
That’s what you keep telling yourself. Well, why wait another year or another day?
