Everyday We Write the Book

The new Classroom in a Book, Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium is done, published, and on the shelves.

Battle the Keyframes of After Effects! Wield your magic wand against the Photoshop marching ants! Engage in a trial of will against the Mercury Graphics Engine! Adventure awaits you, in the gripping tale, Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium Classroom In A Book!  Special thanks to Joe Mcguire of Afrolicious/Pleasure Maker.

12FPS Happy Hour

Thanks to all who attended our last happy hour! For those of you who missed it; don’t worry, we’ll be having another one soon!

Lytro Visit and Interview

We had the chance to visit the Lytro campus in Mountain view and interview Ren Ng, founder and creator of the Lytro Camera. This is probably the biggest innovation in photography since the invention of digital cameras. The camera uses light field technology, capturing light information in every direction, at every point in space.  The potential uses of this amazing technology have only begun to be explored, but it is going to change the way we record and experience memories. Videos coming soon!

Willow Garage Visit

Fun day hanging out with robots and the people who build them at Willow Garage in Menlo Park. Big thanks to all the friendly folks there!

First Rite Screen Tests

12FPS & crew went with Nikki Garcia of First Rite to Point Reyes and did some location scouting. We found a magical place for the Fall Collections look book to take place - here is a taste of the journey.
