CATCH SOME OF THE PICTURES ON http://www.flickr.dmala
• NAB NEWS CONTINUES TO ROLL IN: Just because the expo is over, doesn't mean that the news about broadcast and post production has been put on hold until IBC. There are a ton of news stories that are worth sharing.
(Maybe a special local presentation - - stay tuned!)
• AFTER EFFECTS AND Microsoft WORD?: How do these two applications fit together? Believe it or not, Warren can draw the connection between the two that will change the way you think about workflow.
• A NIGHT TO SHINE :We're giving the spotlight to Shine Studios this month. Creative Director Michael Riley and crew will be on hand to talk about their design process for motion graphics and film titles, including a detailed look at KUNG FU PANDA., TAKING CHANCE and GREY GARDENS.
Shine is a creative design and production studio specializing in film and television main titles, feature film marketing, network branding, and commercial design. With its roots in Hollywood, the Shine team leverages its conceptual thinking and deep experience to help some of the biggest names in the entertainment and advertising worlds communicate their message. The company mission is to fuse smart conceptual ideas with the cutting edge crafts of full-motion electronic media in an effort to distinguish brands, identities, stories and experience.

Enter through the gate on the South side of Hollywood Blvd. just East of the light at Edgemont, or West of the light at New Hampshire (which is just West of where Prospect and Hollywood come together). The theatre is at the top of the hill, adjacent to the art gallery (they have separate entrances).
Parking is free. There is parking at the bottom of the hill, but first try to find a space around the perimeter of the park at the top. Please park closely together, at an angle (regardless of how the parking spaces are painted!) to allow more cars to park. Click here for a PDF map (300k) of the grounds that points out the parking areas and includes other helpful hints.
Wheelchair access (or if you are carrying a lot of gear): Park in the lot next to the Hollyhock house (you will see a handicap parking sign - there are also spaces for loading etc.), come into the theatre entrance, and take the elevator down. There will be space in the front of the theatre for wheelchairs.
Click here for a Google interactive map, including the ability to get directions from your location to this address. There is also a Metro Red Line station at Vermont and Sunset, about a block and a half from the park's entrance.
Before or after the meeting, there is a fine restaurant row on Vermont between Hollywood and Franklin (just around the corner from the park). There are also a number of great ethic eateries along Hollywood.
