We're lining up some special guests and unique announcements for the February meeting, which will be - as always - the third Tuesday of this month.
Emmy Award winner Chris Zapara will come talk about recent work his studio completed on the "Heart Attack" music video for Low vs. Diamond, including wondertouch's particleIllusion.
Hal is a Visual Effects Company located in Los Angeles, dedicated to VFX excellence in Film, TV, Music Videos and Commercials.
Chris Zapara, a three time Emmy Award winning Visual Effects Supervisor. His breakthrough work at industry leading VFX houses such as Zoic Studios and Eden FX has spanned from CSI, Battlestar Galactica, Hellboy, The Passion of the Christ, Get Smart, Lost, Serenity, 24, Starship Troopers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and many more.
Last month, many of you requested a return to our "Project Tips and Tricks" segment - this month you'll get your wish with a technical walkthru by our own Warren Heaton. I think he's still deciding which one of his tricks to show you. Time permitting, I'll try to get in a little CINEMA4D as well.
Additionally, we'll have a special guest from GRIDIRON SOFTWARE to give us a sneak peek at what they've been working on. You may already know some of their products, including Nucleo Pro. You might know some of their team from After Effects guru boards. Marc Coleran and Angie Taylor have been on board for GridIron's latest greatest improvement for how you'll work.
This weekend, we'll have an in-depth lineup as well as some cool freebies from some of our sponsors. Make sure you've subscribed to the DMA newsletter!
NEWS: One of our prize sponsors is STASH DVD MAGAZINE. I have work in their current issue (#53) for a Scion spot completed at Imaginary Forces. We'll be offering a Stash DVD as part of the monthly doorprize - be sure to check it out! www.STASHMEDIA.tv
See you on the 17th (third Tuesday of the month)!

The theatre is at the top of the hill, adjacent to the art gallery (they have separate entrances).
Parking is free. There is parking at the bottom of the hill, but first try to find a space around the perimeter of the park at the top. Please park closely together, at an angle (regardless of how the parking spaces are painted!) to allow more cars to park. Click here for a PDF map (300k) of the grounds that points out the parking areas and includes other helpful hints.
Wheelchair access (or if you are carrying a lot of gear): Park in the lot next to the Hollyhock house (you will see a handicap parking sign - there are also spaces for loading etc.), come into the theatre entrance, and take the elevator down. There will be space in the front of the theatre for wheelchairs.
Click here for a Google interactive map, including the ability to get directions from your location to this address. There is also a Metro Red Line station at Vermont and Sunset, about a block and a half from the park's entrance.
Before or after the meeting, there is a fine restaurant row on Vermont between Hollywood and Franklin (just around the corner from the park). There are also a number of great ethic eateries along Hollywood.
