Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 6:00:00 PM The NEW HammerSpace Community Workshop 5200 E. 45th St., Kansas City, MO

Every Thursday, the members of Hammerspace gather to socialize, network, and meet new members of the space. We welcome the community at large to come down during this time to explore the workshop, check out all of the tools, fabrication equipment and work space made available to HammerSpace members, and ask questions of our community of Hammerspace users.

There is plenty of off-street parking, a kids playroom available for tiny makers, and the evening is always the origin point of new and amazing creative ideas.

Tours are led every 30 minutes for those curious about the tools and capabilities of the facility and staff. This is a free event, open to the public.

Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at 6:30:00 PM 201 Wyandotte St 201 Wyandotte St, Kansas City, MO

We've got something really special this month - a sneak peek at some amazing upcoming tools from Red Giant (https://www.redgiant.com), makers of awesome film-making and motion design tools like the Trapcode Suite, Magic Bullet Suite, Universe, and more. We'll be getting a live (remote) demo from Senior Product Manager Christine Goldby! (I've seen some of these myself, and they look like a pretty serious game-changer for compositing and other related tasks.)

Before joining Red Giant, Christine spent several years in the industry working on projects like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Babe: Pig in the City," music videos for Johnny Cash, Audioslave, J Lo and more - so she's the real deal!

After that, we'll spend some time discussing the short fan film "Mac and Paul," (https://www.macandpaul.com) a fun tribute to the "Mac & Me" clip shown every time Paul Rudd appears on Conan. Several group members worked on this piece, so we'll get to explore it from a few different angles!

Schedule:
6:00 - Doors open. Setup/social time.
6:30 - *Official meeting start.* Welcome / intro / news / etc.
7:00 - Red Giant sneak peek w/ Christine Goldby
8:00 - "Mac & Paul" Case Study
9:00 - Meeting Ends

Use the door with the ramp (the more northern door) and head to the end of the hall. Click here for event
