NewTek Holds Event at The DAVE School
On Saturday the 27th, NewTek Inc. held an event at The DAVE School. Don Ballance started out the day showing off NewTek's multi-award winning video studio in a box, the TriCaster. It was standing-room only.
Shortly after, Instructor William Vaughan gave a free demo of LightWave. He gave an intro to dynamics, rigging and modeling. To wrap up this great event, master organic modeler and well known LightWave artist Taron gave a 2 hour presentation on organic modeling. Taron is well known for his abstract creature creations.
The Dave School (Digital Animation & Visual Effects) at Universal Studios, Florida is a one year program to train production artists for the film and television industry. The program is nine months of instruction capped off with a three-month project where the students produce a professional quality film. Completing any short film in just three months is a daunting task, but completing a professional-quality, fully-animated short in that span of time is unheard of.
Graduates Ed McDonough and Chris Menard are on their way to LA! Both of them have been hired on at Radical 3D which has worked on projects such as Starship Troopers and Mystery Science Theater 3000. They are currently working on Dogfights on the History Channel.
