Cre8Con 2008 – The Portland Creative Conference – What a Show!

This years revitalization of The Portland Creative Conference (Cre8Con) stayed true to its predecessor. The original Portland Creative Conference was a full immersion into the spirit of creativity where extraordinarily talented people came to share personal insights into the creative process.

Brian Van’t Hul – Laika

When he was 8 the light went on, special effects require many different people doing many different things.
There is a guy blowing the smoke – there is a guy shaking the monster
Special effects is a big team effort – an award has 8 names on it and should have 300.
You need to know how did they do it 50 years ago when they didn’t have all these toys we have today?

It all comes down to film making.
What if this was my film and I was doing it in my garage?
It doesn’t always take a lot of money and or technology to solve the problem.

The miniature sets will expand contract and move around depending on the time of year and the weather. Lots of questions and challenges during the day.

We were treated to a long presentation of a prerelease advance trailer and extra scenes of Coraline. WOW! A few weeks left to shoot.

You just need to have a really reckless passion for what it is what you want to do.
Don’t let anyone tell what to do. Use your imagination and go your own way.

This isn’t one of the Best WIFI Hotspots in town

The WIFI on in the theatre SUCKS!!!

Cre8Con is missing the Social Media buzz potential of a conference by not having working WIFI. They will just have to wait for the post event blogging.

What happens to a dream differed?

This WIFI still SUCKS!!! OK I’m done Ranting, no tweets today. It’s still a great conference.

Creative Process

didn’t read comics as a kid

comics never entered into his creative process

Creative Process is really a problem solving process

If you get a road block you just use problem solving to move on to the next step.
You don’t need a problem to surface you can create your own and run from there.
