GameCafé

"Focus On Visual Arts "

The GameCafé concept is a fresh spin on the old roundtable discussion format, with a greater emphasis on intimate interactions in a more casual setting. For our next GameCafé we will focus on games and visual arts at three different levels:

Pure Art - New directions in art direction
Tech Art - Next gen tool and tips, and challenges
Business Art - Dealing with growing art teams, outsourcing, etc

Each participant will have the opportunity to explore and discuss all three topics, as well as participate in a group-wide "debrief" at the end.

GameCafé Hosts:

The following members will serve as discussion "hosts" for the evening:

Alex Amancio - Art Director, Ubisoft
Jonathan Cooper - Lead Animator, Eidos
Chantal Fournier - Artist/President, Studio Qitsune
Elspeth Tory - Animation Manager, Ubisoft
Two more hosts TBC...
