Free Portfolio Review with the Animation Collaborative

If you haven't seen - Our friends at the Animation Collaborative are excited to announce that registration for the Fall workshops is now open! They've got some great courses lined up -- as many of us here can be testament to.

If you haven't heard of them before, The Animation Collaborative offers amazing supplemental education to all of the Bay Area students' current curricula. They have a strong and eager body of students ready to share work and ideas!

Most importantly, however, they have announced a FREE Demo Reel and Portfolio Review and Open House on August 28 at 6:00pm, where they will have animators and artists from Pixar looking at Animation Reels, Design and Visual Development portfolios, and Storyboard portfolios!

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity, and we hope to see you there!

Happy Animating

February Game Developer's Drink Up

This Thursday is the second of the month which means it's Game Developer drink up night! Woo! Here's the text copied directly from the RSVP page:

It's that time, and we can't help but feel loved that you'll be spending Valentine's Day Eve with your local DrinkUp chapter. 

What better way to celebrate your passion of video games than with your local game development community! So, join us for a candle-lite evening of networking, tasteful libations from Twitch & raffles of surprises you'll hope to win.

When: Thurs., 2/13 from 8 - 11PM
Where: Dear Mom – 2700 16th St., San Francisco 94103
Raffle & 50 free drinks by Twitch

Some FAQ:

Do I have to RSVP to attend?
Nope! It just helps Warren and team get a good idea of what the numbers will be.

But what about the screening?
Yes, this is the same day as the Mr. Peabody and Sherman screening - but this is in the evening, so don't worry, you can do both!

I mean, I'm an <animator/modeler/lighter/rigger/texture artist>, but that doesn't mean I'm a "game dev", does it? Can I still go?
Not a problem! You don't need to have shipped a game to come to the event -- it would be nearly if it was only people who already had a job! This is a chance for you to rub elbows with people you might like to work with some day, ask a few questions, and - more importantly - have a few beers among friends.

Welcome to Spring 2014!

Good afternoon and happy last day of freedom before the spring madness begins! It's been yet another excessively long break, and though we managed to keep fairly busy, I'm sure everyone is more than eager to hunker down and get to work.

First things first: A HUGE congratulations is in order for Tea Time's one and only Frank-Joseph Frelier on obtaining the Pixar spring semester Production Internship! Not that any of us doubted it for a second, we are unspeakably proud of you and wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.


For any of you joining us for the first time this year - Welcome!
Frank, along with fantastic Tea Time board members Mendel, Andy, and dedicated Tea Timer George had the privilege of chatting with you at the Meet and Greet over at Kezar Pavillion yesterday! We can't wait to see all your smiling faces at our first meeting this Friday, January 31. Location and Time is TBD right now, so keep your eyes peeled - but I'm willing to tell you that we may be visited by some very special friends, so you don't want to miss out!

Happy animating, and we'll see you Friday!
