Slater Smith and his band The Weather Machine has debuted their music video this week on Rainn Wilson’s website Soul Pancake.  The project was a creative collaboration between Oregon Parks and Recreation and the Governor’s Office of Film and Television.  On display at our December 5th event will be the music video featuring every state park in Oregon, and a website diving into the story behind Slater’s summer adventure.

The video debuts online December 3rd, and the accompanying website will debut on December 5th.

Local creative agency Instrument spent part of its summer creating an engaging and  immersive interactive documentary on the Oregon coast called “This Place”.  “This Place” is a film, a photo essay, and an invitation to share your sense of place.  And we recommend that you make sure to experience the project on the Google Chrome browser.  We particularly recommend you experience it on the Google Chrome browser at our December 5 party!

This is one of several great projects Instrument has produced over the past year and we can’t wait to see what they make in 2014!

If you weren’t lucky enough to attend AIGA’s Blurred Lines event during Design Week Portland in October, you’re going to want to come to our end of the year party on December 5!  One of the fantastic projects from Blurred Lines is coming back for our party!  One of the projects on display in October was Downstream Media’s “Reality Remix”.  What’s “Reality Remix”?

“Reality Remix” The challenge of interaction – where it’s going and how technology and the design of physical spaces are impacting individual and shared experiences.

We said there would be more great announcements coming regarding the Oregon Film end of the year party and here’s one we’re particularly excited about.  Under the leadership of Andy Mingo of Clackamas Community College, local Game Art Production Studio Supergenius, and the Economic Development team at Clackamas County  a new course will be offered at CCC in January surrounding motion capture.  On December 5 at the Oregon Film end of the year party , you will all get the chance to see the new system on display and even possibly get a chance to animate yourself!
