theta 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Anyone from Atlanta frequent these boards? Would be interesting to see if I'm all alone here. Beav Edit: We're doing a meetup up at Hand in Hand around 8pm Thursday. Map to Hand in Hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaver 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah there used to be a bunch of Atlanteans here, but they have mostly moved to LA or NYC (is there a lot of mograph work there or something? *shrug*) There are also a bunch of lurkers and folks that used to be active that don't really post any more. Anyway, I'm in Atlanta. Plan on staying for quite some time Where have you been working? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaver 1 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 How about Thursday night? I guess you're kinda near King Plow? We could try Hand in Hand. It's an english pub in Virginia Highlands. Probably 10 mins away from where you work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theta 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Anyway, I'm in Atlanta. Plan on staying for quite some time Where have you been working? I've been working at Cinema Concepts. Our main clients are movie theatres. So we do a lot of pre-show content, film-outs, up-rezing of spots for the theatres to play them. Stuff like that. Where do the rest of you guys work? I'm curious as to what the freelance scene is like too. Edited April 21, 2008 by theta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaver 1 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 I interviewed there when I first moved here and was looking for a job - they weren't looking to hire at the time though (and I don't think my reel was really raising any eyebrows at the time either haha). I remember they were pretty heavy with autodesk software, and had some sweet film transfer hardware. When did you start there? Interested in a meetup of some sort?

theta 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 When did you start there? Interested in a meetup of some sort? ohh that's cool you interviewed here. Yeah they've always been a 3ds max house, for 3d software & combustion for comping. But I'm using AE here now I started here in the beginning of 2005. Yeah I'd like to come hang out with ya guys. But I'm leaving out of town tomorrow morning, and won't be back for 2 weeks. Maybe if you guys decide to meet up again in the future, let me know and I'll definetely stop by.

Beaver 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 There's also an Atlanta Motion Graphics facebook group (soon to be renamed "Motion Graphics Atlanta" to avoid confusion with a certain other group in this town *cough* depending on if the Facebook folks will let me change the name). I don't know why the facebook group exists other than to say that we're in Atlanta and we do motion graphics, but I made it a while back, and now it's being used to spread the word about Thurs night, so join if you're so inclined. Future meets and Atlanta events will probably get a note here. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6316077134 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaver 1 Report post Posted April 24, 2008 Just giving this a bump since this is happening TONIGHT! I'm going to be there a little early to secure a table. Can't wait to meet everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
