I’ve been working at CoSA VFX for about 8 months now (although I did not work on the Gotham image above). It’s a great studio to work for, and we’re having lots of fun working on many different TV shows. I just stumbled across this article over at CG Society, where they talk a little about the studio and what we do there. Enjoy!
World Blender Meetup Day is a big, coordinated online video chat of Blender user groups. It took place this year on February 27th. For 24 hours, anyone could jump in and watch live-streaming presentations by Blender users all over the world. Pretty cool, huh? 🙂
This year I wasn’t able to be at the Los Angeles Meetup to do my presentation live, but I still really wanted to be a part of it, so I prerecorded something for them to play. I’m happy to be able to post the video here for anyone who may have not been able to see it. (more…)
I’ve been lucky enough to have now attended two Blender Conferences. The conference takes place in Amsterdam every October. I can’t even begin to describe what fun it is! The variety of presentations given by attendees is just staggering, but what truly makes it an amazing event is the people. Everyone is there for the same exact reason, to celebrate Blender, and that means you have something to talk about with everyone!
Hello and welcome to OpenVisual FX! My name is Sean Kennedy, and this is my new blog and training site for professional visual effects using Free & Open-Source software (FOSS).
I’ll keep this intro nice and short. I’m a professional compositor and vfx artist and have been working on feature films, television, and independent projects in various effects positions since 1997. If you’re interested in exactly what projects, you can see my IMDB page here. For a few years now, I’ve been very interested in Free & Open-Source Software (FOSS), and I use these free programs both at my full-time studio jobs and when I do freelance work from home.
This blog is my outlet to share what I’ve learned. (more…)
