Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I’ve been busy at my day job. I’ve re-designed Bridges Media Group’s website using some of the knowledge I picked up here at GraphicsMafia (they both run on wordpress). So it is with full disclosure that I’m posting our website, we’ve done a few sports related projects (which flash by pretty quick in the Demo Reel) but we currently don’t have any sports related featured projects. Why would I post something un-related to sports? Well, I’m starved for content, and I worked damn hard on that site. So deal with it.

I know NFL spring training is starting up, so there are plenty of people working on in-game features (*cough Chicago Bears *cough) and I know people would really like to see some examples.

Congratulations to all the winners from the Idea Conference. Thanks to everyone who came out and attended any of the classes. Especially those who had kind things to say about my Beginner Photoshop/AE class. I thought I’d post some of the content from that class.

Another great job from the guys at Lift (wiki) here in Chicago. This one is a show package for Coast to Coast college basketball year in review. Thanks for the contribution Jason.

Brad Chmielewski from Daily Planet was kind enough to contribute the Chicago Blackhawks 2007 “in game” open. Great job to everybody on the team. How easy is the comp to update? I’m sure every season the Hawks need to alter the project in terms of the new team roster. 

CHICAGO—Lift has gotten into the spirit of college hoops in a big way. The motion graphics studio, which operates out of Filmworkers Club, has designed and produced a revved up show package for Race to March Madness, a new college basketball series created by Chicago-based Intersport for ABC. (more…)

I’m still organizing the site and something like this post should probably be in a different column, but I wanted to let everyone know that a motion graphics opportunity has recently come up.

It would be perfect for someone just out of school (or close to graduation) who needs some real-world work on their reel. It’s not a paying gig, but your work would be seen by every post-production company in Chicago. I’ll say that again… YOUR work would be seen by EVERY post house in Chicago. Not handed over to every company with the hope that they watch it… but, literally forced to watch.

Sound too good to be true? Email me for details and the finest candidate will win.
