in

This one-day Master Class meets on Saturday, July 14 from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Instructor: Pablo Colapinto
Workshop Location:
Scribe Video Center
4212 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Fee: $65.

How can an artist make video works using completely free Open Source software? This master class will demonstrate how Open Source video programs can be combined in a modular way to produce professional results, improve collaboration among artists and learning among students and teachers. Main topics to be covered include creating 2D motion graphics using Jahshaka and 3D motion graphics with Blender and examples of how to edit video with free software. This will be a hands-on workshop. Students with laptops are encouraged to bring them.

A programmer, writer, and effects artist, Pablo Colapinto has taught video editing and internet design at Temple University, University of the Arts, Moore College of Arts and Design, and Scribe Video Center. For his animations and work in online interactive mash-ups, Pablo was awarded a 2005 PEW Fellowship in the Arts, and he has been a resident artist at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida and the Experimental Television Center in New York. His 2D and 3D work has been seen at BAM, the New York Public Theatre, Lincoln Center, and the Japan Society. In Philadelphia he has shown video sculptures and installations at the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Fleisher-Ollman Gallery, and the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery.

Open Source Workshops

On July 24th, 2010 Scribe Video Center (not verified) says:

Hi, I'm in the Trenton area, and a graduate of UArts. I'm a regular advocate of open source, and speak often on the topic. I'm in a project right now using Inkscape for a daily sketch at 365sketches.org.

I was so sad to see that I had just missed the July 14th master class on using Blender, Jahshaka, etc. for Motion Graphics. I'm very excited to do motion graphics, and look forward to the day when animation is robust (or even present) in Inkscape, but until then, I'd like to learn more about other open source capabilities in this area.

Is there any arrangement by which I could learn what I missed? I thought the price for the workshop was very reasonable.
