January 2009 | Motion Graphics 3

After several years in the making, Gino Nave, Associate Director, musician extraordinaire and motion graphics expert for Computer Arts New Media, has completed development of Motion Graphics 3! Based on the needs of the design industry and the successes of our students' motion graphics projects during the 2008 Annual Spring Show, Gino has completed the Motion Graphics 3, the class that merges 3-D with motion. Motion Graphics 3 begins officially this semester, Spring 2009, and is already wildly successful. Maya, the industry standard in 3-D graphics, is the heart of the new class while Gino remains its soul.

Everyone attending, alumni from this and previous years, had to have the secret password and enter through a bookshelf into an exclusive happening for graduates of New Media. The celebration included a special awards ceremony for John Woodbridge in honor of his contributions to the school of New Media. Everyone in attendance was excited and happy, not just about the holidays but their part in the New Media program.
