Currently on a screening tour, Gloria Morán's new documentary The Unique Ladies is introducing members of San Diego's only all-women lowrider club to audiences across the country. At the same time, these extraordinary women's stories are amplified by related content – photographs, testimonials, interview footage – that Morán developed for dissemination across diverse platforms.

Using The Unique Ladies as a case model, Morán will present strategies for developing, funding, and producing digital media projects for distribution through multiple digital media platforms. Topics will include how to effectively collaborate with participants (usually dubbed “subjects”) to develop a compelling story; how to organize a successful crowd-funding campaign; how to use different delivery platforms to extend your story and broaden your audience; and how to produce, edit, and prepare content for delivery across multiple platforms including blogs, online photo- and video-sharing services, and social media sites.

Moran's documentary The Unique Ladies screens in the Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival 2013 on Saturday, April 27, 2:15PM at the International House and again on Sunday, April 28, 6:00PM at the Gershman Y.

3D digital animation and computer graphics (CGI) are becoming a standard ingredient in filmmaking. This hands on workshop will demonstrate essential concepts and practices of 3D digital animation using Autodesk Maya, the leading software used by filmmakers, gamers and virtual reality modelers to create 3D characters, models and visual effects. Participants will learn basic modeling processes and techniques in this project - based course by developing work based on simulating aspects of the Philadelphian urban space. While this class will primarily focus on the use of 3D animation for film and video it will also cover the possibilities of this digital framework for other media, such as computer games and print media.

Animation is the art of creating the illusion of motion through frame-by-frame manipulation. Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring different techniques of stop motion animation including mixed media, hand drawn, and cut paper. Participants will work in groups and on individual projects inspired by theme. No previous art or computer training is required, just a good imagination and some patience.
