Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

For young professionals in the Sacramento area, watch the Kings versus the Clippers on April 8, 2010 with Sac Metro Edge for $19.50 for upper level tickets.  Your tickets include a special pregame mixer with Kings Senior VP of Business Operations John Rinehart, who will discuss the “Business of Pro Sports.”

Halftime show by Sacramento artist, David Garibaldi (I remember when dude used to paint at Fox and the Goose and had just quit his job at a bank, to paint fulltime.  A great story).

Deadline to buy ticket is April 1st.  The mixer is for Sac Metro Edge members only.  More information on membership here.

Also, Sac Metro Edge is having a Second Saturday Pre-Party at the MARRS building (20th and J Streets) on April 10, 2010 from 5-7pm.  It is free to guests of Sac Metro Edge members.  Go here for more information.

I took a Motion class yesterday, and I am kind of embarrassed that I haven’t played around with Motion more. I learned how to do a number of motion graphics and visual effects that I had seen others do but never tried myself, although I had always had the tools at my fingertips.  Pitiful.

Also, half way through the class I figured out that the instructor was Mark Spencer, the author of this article that I linked to a couple of days ago.  Small world.  At the end of the class, I answered a question on Motion correctly (I guess it pays to pay attention) and won a copy of Mark’s book, Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2.  No more excuses, I guess.

Also, Mark has a blog on Motion that you might want to check out.
