Back From West Coast | Corey in After Effects | Contest Time
Happy Monday everyone! I am back from a week of travels out in San Francisco at the Adobe MAX conference, and spending some time at Moose Peterson’s You Can Do It Too workshop. Max was an interesting experience, and I have to go through all of my notes in order to really do it justice. Hanging out over at Moose’s was like coming home to be honest.
There were 6 students, and we had a blast shooting, going over marketing and web stuff, and enjoying food. (Sharon’s an AMAZING cook). If you want to see a couple of pics from that workshop, click on the image on the right and it will bring you to the Flickr gallery of the images. They still need a little work.. but I figured I’d share how beautiful it was out there.
Many thanks to Moose and Sharon for having me out there, I am really grateful!
