Boise Cutters July Meeting

The July meeting of the Boise Cutters is scheduled for today (yes, I know… some advanced notice would be nice and all), Tuesday, July 13th starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Owyhee Plaza Den.

From the event’s description:

The major attraction this month is Ryan Donahue. Ryan is a creative whose talents extend into several realms. He’s taught several BSU classes and offers instruction with The Spark Commission. He is a web developer, a font designer, a motion graphics artist, a filmmaker, and is currently rocking a hardcore beard which only seems to add to his mystique. He’ll be showing off the reel of his alter-ego, Uncle Render, and will have some video projects to speak about and offer for the group to critique. He’ll also be discussing his use of After Effects and Cinema 4D.

We’ll also be continuing our discussion of the video capabilities of the iPhone 4 and how this may change the filmmaking landscape. We have Alex Daw who’ll be in to show a short film he created entirely on the phone. Shooting, editing, everything.

We’ll also be showing a recent project completed by Yellow Box Studio. They’ll show us their video and explain how to make something that kicks ass amid production budget constraints.

Full details are available here.
