This is the class blog for "Publications : Digital" - the 3rd year Integrated Media studio for online and digital artists' projects at the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. The course is taught by Associate Professor Judith Doyle.
The most important part of this project is to find the happy medium between having an entertaining research and presentation aspect along with a responsible research method. I do not want to get carried too far off track, but my topic is currently broad and covers many aspects of post-production media. I guess first, compositing and FX should be understood as the horizontal version of editing. Images are placed upon images within 3D-Z space (aka forward/backward). Within compositing you can add any type of media too.

As of now I think I will major my topic's scope on FX post-production. Thus, I will show the final product and the process involved to get there. This is because people are always interested in peeking behinde the currtin. Also I feel compositing is the way you compile the "data" and therefore not my central idea.

This should give you an idea of what kinda stuff I want to cover. I also want to discuss the communities I am involved in like
Tween This blog is shows some of the greatest motion graphic stuff I have ever seen... an important aspect of FX.
A nice VH1 montage/intro
As for my personal site, I am on the fence on whether I will add a blog to document my process of Special FX in the film I am working on. I do not want to completely ignore my process work either. I think I am going to critique the work that's out there and go over the more interesting concepts through development and application.

I won't go too graphics heavy with my site, within the levels of design, because that is not my interest. I am more concerned about content and organization of that content... aka ease of use.
So this is the baby steps involved in what I will introduce to all of you guys, and I hope you enjoy this process.
