Wednesday Sept. 2, 6-9pm JAM ON

play guitar?
play lead?
sing?
drum?
bass???
keyboards?

I have put in a request for the "A" room at our regular music jam location...
for this coming Wednesday Sept. 2, 6-9pm

re: room cost is $60.00
We split the cost equally ($10.00 if six people show up), so the more jammers, the less we all have to pay.



748 Av Broadview ( Just a few steps south of PIZZA PIZZA)
Toronto, ON M4K 2P1

Not CD, PMCD

CDs are great for distribution but are not ideal for use as replication masters. That’s why PreMaster CD™ provides a better way to hand off your hard won work for replication: DDP or Disc Description Protocol, the standard specifically designed for optical disc replication. PreMaster CD creates the industry’s most compliant DDP image files, a surefire method for error–free manufacture of great sounding Compact Discs.

PRICE$ 495.00 (USD)

3D Book creation in AE

Guess what... yes it's Saturday... and I decided to have some fun with After Effects, and try and create a basic 3D book, and then fly it around in space using a null object to control the whole thing.

TIP #1: I used the Object Camera Tool to view the different perspectives
TIP #2: I used Orientation to create the rotations

This might make a fun class exercise...

Communication & media is every-changing
