AVATAR UPDATE!!

For those going on the trip, meet in front of the Annex at 10:30pm. I would like to get there early because it's going to be busy. Bring money for tokens for SEPTA. For those of you that don't know, the subway will be closed by the time the movie gets out, so you will have to take the bus back to center city.

See you all there.

Avatar: The reviews

Hey Guys!
I wanted to bring these reviews to your attention. Now, we all know how skeptical I am which is why I strongly recommend this review by Cracked.com
http://www.cracked.com/article/240_avatar-horribly-written-way-too-long-totally-worth-it/
Which is a hell of alot more realistic than this horribly gushy review.

Either way, the consensus is that this film WILL win best VFX this year. Let alone, the past 10-15 years. I feel that going into this film with low expectations will leave you with a bit of glee in your step. I'm going to see it for the craft of the film, not exactly the story. Please, write in your own reviews! I would love to hear what you think!
Cheers,
Eve.

AVATAR MOVIE TRIP!

Well, with the end of the quarter fast approaching, I figure we should sneak in a movie trip before well all break for Christmas. Eve and I budgeted to go see James Cameron's Avatar at a midnight showing on the night of December 17th, a Thursday, just before we all went home Friday. I have checked all the theaters around, and while I would have loved to do an IMAX showing, all I could find was it playing, in 3D, at the Bridge, at 12:01 on Thursday night (or Friday Morn, whatever you prefer).

I would like to keep the trip to about ten people for logistical reasons, and the fact that these midnight shows are always pretty packed. Email me @ Mrobncc@gmail.com if you wish to attend. I will have further updates later this week.

11/20 VFX CLUB TRIP-Bus Update

These are the times for the busses we are taking too and from New York:

Inbound

7:30 AM Megabus from 30th St. Station. Arrives in NYC, 7th Ave. & 28th St., @ 9:30 AM.

Outbound

8:40 PM Megabus from New York Penn Station (31st St. & 8th Ave.). Arrives back @ Philadelphia 30th St Station @ 10:40.

For those paying themselves, reserve your bus tickets quickly.

In NYC we will be covering the NYC Trans passes ourselves, sorry. This goes for everyone, including those taking the busses with the school.

Meet in front of the Annex Building Monday morning @ 6:30 Sharp. We need to get to the station at least 15 mins early, since even though we have tickets, seating in not assigned.

Any questions either post a comment to this post, throw it up on my facebook, or email me, MROBNCC@GMAIL.COM.

NEW YORK TRIP UPDATE!!

I gave all of our information to the proper authorities for the trip. If you are one of the ten signed up for the trip, you are in. To finalize everything, after 12:30 PM today (Weds 11/18), you must go to the Student Affairs office on the third floor in the main building, to sign some sort of release form. It is to your left when you get off the elevators.

I hope to have an update on which buses we will be taking either today or tomorrow. There is a Mega Bus that leaves 30th Street Station at 7:30 AM, so I am gonna try to shoot for that. I hope to grab the return bus between 9-10 PM from NYC. I will get you guys a final confirmation soon.

VFX Club trip to New York!

Hey guys, so in case you haven't heard, we will be going to New York to visit some studios this month. The trip is scheduled right now for Monday November 23rd, which is Week 8. John is currently getting in contact with some studios for us to visit. The studios we will be visiting, as of this moment, are 1st Avenue Machine and Curious Pictures. The school will be paying for 10 people to go. If you want in, email me (maxswi86@gmail.com) and I'll add you to the list. Club members will get preference, then it's on a first come first serve basis.

-Max!

EDIT:
As of today (11/13/09), the list is: Max!, Boston, Mieka, Mike, Sara, Colton, Drew, Kambra, Jess, and Dohan. That's the 10. If you still want to go, you're going to have to buy your own bus ticket (or you may get lucky and one of these people will back out). Just keep in touch with myself or Boston to find out what bus we're going to take.
