NEW! Paint On Glass Suite – available until Thursday 11/19
Because of the paint on glass assignment for Drawing Outside the Lines program we have temporarily set up a “Paint On Glass Suite” in Library 1526. This lab features the Animac and a Rebel with a zoom lens from Media Loan. Please note that the Animac settings are completely different from the other labs, and there is no maintenance script to reset settings. The camera setup also differs since it will not need the height adjusted to conform framing – rather use the zoom lens and check focus.
2D Lab Update:
Again, because of the paint on glass assignment for DOL we have had to shift around equipment in the 2D Labs. Please note:
- The Library 2D Multiplane has been relocated to the Paint On Glass Suite
- The Com 2D camera has been relocated to the Sand Stand
Both 2D Lab will have all their equipment reset to normal on Thursday, November 19th a the completion of this assignment. If you have any questions contact Animation Staff.
Animation Lab Conversion:
We have upgraded our labs from iStop Motion and 3-Chip video cameras to Canon Rebels and Dragon Stop Motion capture software. If you have not been introduced to this new system please arrange for a training with the lab aides because the production process is completely different. If you encounter any technical difficulties please notify us so we can provide you with better support.
