Part 1 (Sat Nov 2nd) EVENT AGENDA
So, you may be asking yourself how the heck is this going to work?! What is the theme, what software are we using, etc. Let’s cover all that!
- When you RSVP, each artist will answer with what they are interested in focusing on (i.e. animation, backgrounds, concept art, audio, writing, etc.). And which hours/days they are available. And the theme.
- 1pm – 5pm Saturday: Meet at our events space. We will have a Magma collaborative canvas going and have a general social for everyone to pitch ideas and discuss. We will also be discussing software everyone is using, and what style we are going for (2d/3d/both, hand-drawn, color theory, etc.)
DAY 2 EVENT AGENDA
Day 2 ONLINE (Sat Nov 9th) EVENT AGENDA
- 1pm – 5pm Saturday ONLINE: Animation, editing, etc.

- Although we have our Discord chat we have learned that the best way to do these workshops is in-person.
