      I do. Estalishing a membership fee might turn people away. Let everybody bring whatever they want/can afford to contribute - like snaks and soft drins. If there's not enough, we could always order in.

      3. Maya, Cinema4D
      4. Extruded & Beveled 3D text.

      7. I don't mind as long as it is less than $1,000,000.

    • 1. Intermediate, give or take.

      2. All to some degree, but mostly for motion graphics.

      3. Some Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Illustrator, Motion occasionally.

      4. Off the top of my head - Modular interface for certain workflows like keying, Groups of layers or compositions.

      5. The ability to create stunning visual images that move.

      6. Consistency (every month, or every other month, etc,) Good relevant discussion about technical and creative challenges, inspiration.

      7. Depends on how much the food/drinks cost, but no.

    • 1. Skill level: Intermediate
      2. Use After Effects for: Compositing primarily, and a little quick editing (I know, boo hiss, shut it)
      3. Use AE in conjunction with: Maya
      4. Wish After Effects could: Work with Maya image channels better (e.g. z-depth)
      5. Most interesting: Ability to sweeten images out of Maya (post-processing)
      6. Keep me coming back: Knowledge
      7. Opposed to a fee?  Adobe has deep pockets and should buy us food and beer!  But no, a nominal fee would be okay.

    • 1. Skill Level: Intermediate

      2. I use AE for pretty much all of the above.

      3. Other programs: Maya, Illustrator, Photoshop

      4. Wish AE had: A better built in particle simulation system.

      5. Interests you about AfterEffects? It's fairly easy to learn, and I love how quickly you can start animating in it. The hotkeys are obvious like most Adobe products. I'd like to learn more about driving animation with expressions and video editing.

      6. Keep you coming to the meetings? They need to keep me interested, be well planned, and give me information that I can use. 

      7. Opposed to a fee? depends on the fee.
