 Sexy Name Lady
For the past several years Elemental Motion Media has been using Adobe
After Effects (AE) to create Motion Graphic Commercials and Interactive
web animations. On Tuesday night, they will show how they use After
Effects to make benefit glorious nation!
Tuesday's presentation will be ideal for graphic designers and web
developers that are looking to get introduced or reacquainted with
After Effects. The application continues to improve and also get more
complex with each release.
Elemental's treatment will be simple, fun, and easy to follow for anyone looking to get started (ie. Noobs).
Several project-types that will be looked at on Tuesday night include:
• Character Animation (sexy)
• Compositing (very sexy)
• Visual FX (sexy-sexy!)
• Full Motion Graphics (sexy-boomski)
• Virtual Worlds (holubtsi-sexy-wow)
A detailed breakdown of one of their animations will be covered with an
emphasis on how Elemental used After Effects to build the project.
To get in on this sexy action you must register online.
There is no charge to attend and all are welcome.
Tuesday night's presentation is rated "E" for Everyone. :)
Hope to see you out!

We're getting serious about games folks.
"Serious Games," many of them simulations, are learning and
training materials in a game format created to teach and entertain.
Serious games are highly focused on the needs of a particular group or
niche and can sometimes be developed for not much more than a corporate
website.
On Monday March 16, 2009, Game on Manitoba is hosting a one-day
conference that brings together Serious Games presenters from the USA,
UK, and Manitoba. Throughout the day our on-site presenters will share
strategies for game-based learning projects they've developed for other
Corporations, the US Military, Triage Training for Hospitals and New
Equipment Installations. This event will be an opportunity for game
developers, digital media agencies and Industry Sectors to partner on
training projects that can have a significant return on investment.
This
conference will be especially important to attend if you run a
business, or are an educator from the manufacturing sector, life
sciences, human resource development, education, and aerospace.
This one-day conference is just $35 and includes breakfast, lunch, refreshments, and a chance to win an iPod. How's that as a start to your return on investment?
You must register online to attend this event.
A detailed lineup of speakers and the day's agenda can be downloaded here

We're up to our old tricks again. You can register here.
Join us for our first DemoCamp of the year
this February 12, 2009, at the Pastry Castle Café on the corner of
Arthur and McDermot.
 Network Location
Centrix.ca is run by NMM members Phil Letourneau and Rick
Fillion. Both Phil and Rick are Mac Developers and will be showing off
their application "Network Location." It was rated 4 out 5 mice by
Macworld and is an Apple Staff Pick. They'll also be unveiling a Beta of an iPhone app they're close to completing.
StuntSoftware.com is founded and operated by Dan Messing. You may
recall us discussing Dan's iPhone app, "4 in a Row" during one of our
previous meetings. Dan has just launched a significant update to his
gorgeous Mac application, "On the Job 3.0." On the Job is an indispensable
way to track On The Job 3.0
I've had a peek at the applications we're going to look at on Thursday and I can tell you they're
worth showing up for! If you're interested in developing applications
of your own this is an excellent opportunity to meet the guys and
discover some of the challenges they've faced..
Register for free online, set your calendar, join us for a drink, and
get networking. This could be your chance to meet someone to
collaborate with on your next application!
We hope to see you out,
Kevin

You must register in advance for this event.
What do Steve Wozniak (the co-founder of Apple), and New Media Manitoba both have in common?
We both love workin' the floor at Macworld!
The Woz and I may not have gone out for drinks, but we did
spend some quality time talking about the "ModBook," a tablet-based
product that incorporates an Apple Macbook along with handwriting
recognition and pen based drawing applications. AND you get to see this
historic interview next Tuesday, January 27, 2009, at the Psych Health
Centre at 7 pm!
In addition to my interview with the Woz, I had the opportunity to
chat with over 20 companies about their applications and discuss how
you can use them to be more competitive in 2009. Some of the highlights
include:
-
BoinxTv - a video podcasting application that enables you to add
visual fx during a live shoot and save yourself hours of post production
-
Widget Press - for developing web-based iPhone Applications via a graphical user interface.
-
ProSoft - a company that makes disk recovery, backup, and optimization tools for the Apple Genius Bar
-
Tiffen Dfx2 - Photoshop and Final Cut Pro filters to create some amazing fx in your creative work
-
LANschool - a tool for teachers/instructors to manage what students can see and do on their computers during a live lecture
-
LiveScribe - digital pen for writing "the old fashioned way" and
transcribing your written notes and drawings digitally to a computer
-
AnimeStudio - an animation tool that can quickly generate content using bones and tweens.
-
Notion Music - software for generating musical compositions and background accompaniment
-
mDialog - an online broadcasting tool that can help manage a revenue stream for your podcast
-
BeeDocs - a tool for creating 3D timelines to input in presentations, video projects, and online media
Of course that's just a few of the interviews we're going to showcase on Tuesday night. The rest are gong to be a surprise!
It's been a tradition over the past few MacWorlds that we give away
some awesome prizes. Not to be outdone by previous years, we've been
able to round up several thousand dollars in software from some of the
above vendors and more. You have to be a paid NMM member in order to
get entered into these draws and for $30/yr who wouldn't want to be?
This will most likely be our last Macworld. Where it goes from here is
anybody's guess, so we wanted to make it a memorable one. Show your
colours by bringing out your iPod Nanos and your iPhones/iPod Touches
and you may just find yourself heading home with a little extra swag!
A number of you have been following our 2009 Macworld adventure over at
www.newmediamanitoba.tv . Since posting the videos over a week ago,
we've re-jigged the footage to be even more special; with additional
scenes, and extra post-production that you can see only by showing up
to view the presentation in person.
Mark your calendar for January 27, 2009, and don't forget to
pre-register! This event is typically filled to capacity each year so
you'll want to get there early to find parking and grab a seat.
We look forward to seeing you out!

 This is the time of year Ian McCausland
and I head to MacWorld Expo in San Francisco to record the developers
and business folk that cook some of the most influential new media
applications around.
On Tuesday, January 27, 2009, we are bringing the MacWorld bacon home when we deliver our very own Manitoba MacWorld Expo!
All this week we are interviewing software and hardware companies at
the Expo to feature on January 27. If you’ve got an appetite for
Apple, you don’t have to wait to get your fix either!
NewMediaManitoba.tv has a whole buffet of demos you can view from
our last trip in 2008. These videos feature the companies that made the
biggest impression on us (or just the ones we thought were cool).
