We love computer games. Hundreds of man-hours are wasted every day playing them. Our children no longer hold boring ol' storybooks in their imaginations; they dream of virtual one-on-one warfare with grumpy space aliens or demons from the Pit. The gaming industry is bigger than movies. And most of them require animation. How do we break off a piece of that pie?
Join WIA on Thursday, July 17 for the next Women In Animation General Meeting: "You've Played 'Em, Now Make 'Em: Careers In Game Development." A panel of creators from large and small game developers (including Lance Powell of Electronic Arts and Tim Trzepacz of softegg.com) what it takes to develop a game from first concept to final release, and what skill sets these companies looking for.
Join them at the DreamWorks campus (1000 Flower Street, Glendale, California) on Thursday, July 17, 2008. Schmoozing and networking begins at 6:30 p.m., and the meeting proper starts at 7. Finger food and soft drinks should be available. RSVP early; they are expecting a lot of interest in this event.
To RSVP, call the hotline at 310-535-3838 or email LAchapterrsvps@aol.com before Tuesday, July 15. Non-members are asked for a $10 donation; members are free.
