Challenge 7 is in full gear — it’s an HD res film challenge that is typical of the type of work you’d be doing on the job. Every high quality entry will get a free fxphd tshirt — and the winner will be considered for use in the actual film…complete with credits.

Thanks to REALVIZ for holding a sale for us….all the fxphd members who took advantage of it really appreciated the chance to get in on an exclusive sale. We’re working towards having more sales like these in the future.

Our podcast is up…we mentioned a spot during the podcast and wanted to provide a link:

Silo McClean dropped by the Tech Penthouse to discuss her book, which seriously examines the issues of styles of visual effects. The book is a serious look at the nature of visual effects, and it was great she could drop by and talk to us about it.
