I was wondering if anyone would be interested in forming a cyber-animation group that would meet at Compuserve or the internet or any number of places depending on who would be in the group. What I am looking for are a couple animators of any skill level who would like to expand their portfolio, discuss animation techniques they discover, work together on a couple projects and see what we may be able to produce. What I have discovered is that the most important thing to animation is an imagination – technical ability with the software is a close second. I believe coming up with a realistic, entertaining, practical animation sequence is the most difficult – anyone can be trained to work 3DS. This group would be a group would hopefully get enough interested parties so we could start thinking of ideas soon. Once we have a good sequence, I have contacts in the San Fransisco Bay area that may be able to get the sequence screened at places like Industrial Lights and Magic! So if you are interested, please write me (Byrne Reese) at 72632,3142…tell me briefly about your self (where you go to school, what you are studying, where you work, who you work for, how much free time you may have, what interests you have etc…)…in all honesty the group can not be too big so make your self look good. The structure of the group will be discuss once it has formed. My personal info: name: Byrne Reese age: 20 school: Berkeley major: Computer Science, Anthropology animation skill level: intermediate (with specialty in 3D-design) I

I have seen many people try this and fail. If you want this to happen you will have to be willing to take the reins and make it happen: Assume the leadership role as it is your idea. I do not mean to discourage you. I am just telling you what I have seen. So, drop me an e-mail. I would be interested if there is the possibility of producing some useful results. I am always open to useful exploration.

I am afraid it is not as simple as that anymore. We have reached a comfortable number of members, but the group may need another person…I unfortunately can not speak for the group alone. You must write the group as a whole. Here are the addresses: David Byrne Reese, 72632,3142 Frank K. Brattain, 74032,443 John Ellis, 72440,3046 Paul Kakert, 73751,3241 Andrew Sinagra, 75010,747 Dennis Wiener, 76505,2040
