Lineup: Q&A with Tom Luth / SonicFire SmartSound / Trapcode Horizon / Chevon Hicks - HeavenSpot
7:00 - 7:30 Q&A with Tom Luth
In addition to a short Q&A session, DMA's Tom Luth will show off the bit of title design that we missed last month.
7:30 - 7:55 SMARTSOUND SonicFire 5.
With the new version soon to be released, Stephanie Joyce will be presenting a sneak peek for us at DMA/LA. If you're a motion graphics artist or producer, you'll want to be sure to see the new features.
Stephanie will be demonstrating all the amazing new features in SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5. Building on the recent success of their Multi-Layer Music and the famous Mood Mapping® feature, the new Sonicfire Pro 5 does things you never imagined possible with library music. Want to move a music beat to align with an event in your video? Come check it out.
8:05 - 8:30 TRAPCODE HORIZON
Presented by Sean Safreed of Red Giant Software (site to all Trapcode, Magic Bullet, Knoll Light Factory Pro, Instant HD and more), Trapcode Horizon is the latest offering from Peder Norrby for After Effects users. Taking advantage of some simple steps, AE users can create scenes that, well, stretch to an unending horizon.
8:35 - 8:55 BREAK
Get to know some of the other members, grab a snack or drink in the lobby, or ask the presenters some of those questions you didn't want to raise your hand for.
9:00 - 9:50 CHEVON HICKS : HEAVENSPOT
Chevon will be presenting some of the company's recent work for FOX's NASHVILLE which will incorporate both motion graphics for promo and interactive. It is a great case study on a newly emerging trend, where the website design took an interesting influence on the broadcast look.

The theatre is at the top of the hill, adjacent to the art gallery (they have separate entrances).
Parking is free. There is parking at the bottom of the hill, but first try to find a space around the perimeter of the park at the top. Please park closely together, at an angle (regardless of how the parking spaces are painted!) to allow more cars to park. Click here for a PDF map (300k) of the grounds that points out the parking areas and includes other helpful hints.
Wheelchair access (or if you are carrying a lot of gear): Park in the lot next to the Hollyhock house (you will see a handicap parking sign - there are also spaces for loading etc.), come into the theatre entrance, and take the elevator down. There will be space in the front of the theatre for wheelchairs.
Click here for a Google interactive map, including the ability to get directions from your location to this address. There is also a Metro Red Line station at Vermont and Sunset, about a block and a half from the park's entrance.
Before or after the meeting, there is a fine restaurant row on Vermont between Hollywood and Franklin (just around the corner from the park). There are also a number of great ethic eateries along Hollywood.
