It’s the time of the year again… its Friday the 13th… time to announce Multi-Mania 09, Europe’s biggest FREE Multimedia FEST :-) .

Multi-Mania 09 - Europe's Biggest FREE multimedia FEST

Multi-Mania 09 - Europe's Biggest FREE multimedia FEST

Multi-Mania is a two day free conference in KORTRIJK XPO, BELGIUM offering workshops and 4 tracks full of national and international speakers … I think that is kind of unique in Europe …especially because the conference doesn’t cost anything for the attendees.We want alle the multimedia folks to learn something, be inspired and get connected !

I am  really proud to announce that even in an economical crisis we are able to give the multimedia community in Europe  a FREE event  full of interesting sessions and workshops !

The  first day of the event (May 18th) will be one day full of workshops where you will be able to learn a lot from the experts. The second day (May 19th) will be the full conference like you know it from the last 9 years ;-) That means that we are expecting more then 30 spreakers from around the world who have something cool and interesting to tell about DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, MOBILE,  VIDEO/AUDIO and 3D DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT.

Of course we will also have the one and only  awardshow in the evening where the best multimedia student projects will win cool prices and afterwards we can celebrate atthe 2M09 PARTY !! If you as a company want to meet the upcoming talents, the awardshow is “tha place to be” !

Last year we had more then 1000 peoples attending the event and this year we even have space for even more folks. Registration for the event is FREE and will open at April 20, so mark that date in your agenda!

Speakers will be announced very soon so make sure to check the http://www.multi-mania.be website as much as you can in the upcoming days… weeks…:-)

If you are interested in sponsoring the event or if you have something cool to talk about, do not hesitate to contact me at info [at] newmovieclip.com and I am sure we can work something out !

I am looking forward to it and I hope you also do …. 2M09 WILL ROCK !!! ;-)

Woman wanted for FREE FITC TORONTO ticket !

2009 March 6
by Koen

I really like conferences, but one thing I always think is : where are the woman ? That is where the next FITC conference in TORONTO comes in… they are doing a great job by giving away 100 festival tickets to woman who would like to attend ! Finally a conference recognizes that women in our industry are underrepresented.

So, how do you get your ticket, lovely woman?

Simple. Tell FITC in a video post or a Flash post WHY you want to come to FITC Toronto. This video can be you, or feel free to create something in Flash!

Here is one of the first  entries :

I am really looking forward to see a lot of woman at FITC TORONTO :-)

Some Flash CS4 drawTriangles ART experiments

2009 March 1
by Koen

It is always cool to use features of Flash CS4 in a way where they were not designed/developed for :-) . Well some time ago I made some sketches with the drawTriangles funtion. It is not fully random generated art, the painter can influence the way the artwork is made by using mouse and keyboard input. The generated splines are drawn and filled with bitmapData materials.

Next you can find 2 of the outcomes:

1.  “White Space Jack”

White Space Jack

White Space Jack

2. “Multiply”

It’s real fun to play with the DrawTriangles method and if you made something cool, let me know !

Happy Coding !
