Lokking for a Los Angeles Photography class

I decided that I would like to finally take a photography class.
Does anyone in the Los Angeles area (west side) know of a good one? Maybe a community college course. Preferably on the Weekends, but late nights can work too.

Thanks!!!

Particle generator questions

Hi, how do i assign a different image to a particle thats generated? What i have is a particle emitter attached to a light and use a image as particle, what i want to do is to use a clip with different images and that each particle generated is different, i can do this by duplicating the particle setup and assigning a different image to each one, but there are more than 30 images and want to it in one pass.

Python Question

Hi just working on a quick python tool and have come up against a problem.

i am creating a shuffle node and then trying to set it’s in parameter to be a channel in an incoming exr called "lighting".

I am using the below code

nuke.nodes.Shuffle(in="lighting", postage_stamp=True).setInput(0, nuke.selectedNode())

but this doesn’t work as the "in"parameter is color coded green as it must be a universal python command.

If i use in2 it works for the second shuffle input, but that is of no use to me.

If anyone understands what i have just rambled on about let me know

thanks

Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.

Dominoes

Dominoes

Dominoes by Wyld Stallyons is great new short film for the World Wildlife Fund that aims to encourage people to become activists for environmental change. The simple premise is well told through the metaphor of a domino that individual characters use to send their message. Great illustration, character design and animation and a lovely soundtrack top it off.

Yann Benedi and Céline Desrumaux animated and directed the film for Wyld Stallyons in just over three weeks. Céline was one of the film-makers who made Yankee Gal at Supinfocom in 2008, and Yann Benedi made Gary there in the same year. Both films are worth checking out if you haven’t yet seen them.

GIANT CHESS GAME SANS EXPLOSION.

chess

Remember that scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, when Harry decides to crush his opponent in an epic match of chess?! And shit is exploding and the chess pieces were large enough for Harry to piggyback them? Well, at Trafalgar Square in London, there’s an even craftier looking giant chess set sans the explosion and threat of death.  Artist-designer Jaime (pronounced Hi-may) Hayón was commissioned by the London Design Festival to create an interactive art piece at the square. Crafted in ceramic and on-top of a mosaic glass chess board, “The Tournament” is almost better than the Elixir of Life.
