7.27.10: This Week at Tribeca Flashpoint

Tribeca Film Festival

 

This Week at Tribeca Flashpoint - 07/26/10 from Tribeca Flashpoint on Vimeo.



After a beautiful weekend in the Windy City, we at Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy are gearing up for yet another stellar week filled with special events, great guests, and exciting learning opportunities for all of our students.



All this week, Tribeca Flashpoint will represent in sunny Los Angeles, California at Siggraph 2010, The 37th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. As a part of the week’s events, Animation & Visual Effects chair Perry Harovas will be instructing an Autodesk MasterClass during Virtual Siggraph, and will also be a featured guest speaker at the Siggraph Education Summit.  

Meanwhile, back in Chicago, Tribeca Flashpoint welcomed Sean Cronin and Alex Kam from Creative Loafing on Monday, July 26, to hear pitches from our Game & Interactive Media students’ Game Design Challenge Workshop. Sean and Alex gave students their feedback and critiques to help our students develop their project concepts. This will be excellent preparation for later in the week, when students from all disciplines present their final Oral Communication projects on Wednesday, July 28, during FlashPitch, Tribeca Flashpoint’s pitch festival.  



Finally, ending the week on a high note, Tribeca Flashpoint will host a live recording session with Grammy-nominated producer Tor Hyams, rap artist Naledge & Chicago-based children’s performance group The Happiness Club, engineered by our very own Recording Arts students. With such great talent serving an even greater cause, this is one recording session that is sure to keep our students looking forward to the weekend.
