Larry Jordan Powerup Series
Ask Larry Anything
Well, my move is complete and I THINK I’ve got all my gear connected properly. So, let’s get our fall season of webinars underway with one of my favorite sessions: “Ask Larry Anything.”
BIG NOTE: Now that I’m on the East Coast, I changed the times of these sessions. Please note this change.
This is a free-form conversation about, well, anything you want to ask. Bring your questions and Larry will do his best to answer them. By the way, it helps a LOT if you give Larry a chance to research the answer and put together a demo. Please email your questions to Larry – Larry@LarryJordan.com – before the event. He always answers emailed questions first.
These sessions are always interesting and, best of all, registration is free.
AUDIENCE LEVEL
The content for these sessions ranges from basic to advanced. Don’t worry, though. If you can’t follow the current discussion, it will change in a few minutes. This session is delivered via a web browser. Just sit back, enjoy and learn something new.
Registration is FREE! Everyone is welcome!!
Time: 7:00 AM PT | 10:00 AM ET AND 10:00 AM PT | 1:00 PM ET

Maxon
VFX and Chill with Hashi & Seth
Each week the hosts (and the occasional guest artist) will peel back the curtain on a part of the VFX creation process that’s mostly omitted from tutorials: the exploratory, beginning stages of creating an effect, where artists throw ideas and iterations at the wall to see what sticks. It’s in that trial and error that the creator often discovers new workflows and tricks they never knew even existed. The hope is to inspire and educate, and maybe even introduce a few new techniques and tools that even veteran designers have missed.
