Erin Sarofsky and her colleagues at the Chicago-based design-driven production company Sarofsky have just announced the launch of Sarofsky Labs: A Weekend Workshop Series.
The series' first monthly installment focusing on "Designing for Motion" is set to occur during the weekend of Feb. 9-10, 2019. Topics for following months currently include "Main Title Concept and Pitching," "Producing for Motion, "File Management and Project Workflow," "3D Motion Graphics: Design and Animation," "Experimental Processes," "UI/HUD Motion Design," and "Motion in Branding."
According to Erin, this development has arisen from the desire to show the world how the acclaimed studio manages and works with the challenging real-life scenarios it faces on a daily basis. While the workshops will cover a wide range of creative topics, they will address production and pipeline-related items as well.
"The goals are to immerse students inside a working production paradigm, teach invaluable working knowledge on each topic, and help every student produce a portfolio-worthy project," she explained.
The full slate of offerings is available at http://www.sarofsky.com/labs.
"Over the past ten years, we have come a very long way, and we know that our staff represents a major force in the entertainment industry in terms of talent and expertise," added Sarofsky's Executive Producer Steven Anderson. "These workshops will be guided by our artisans and producers. From start to finish, we will seek out imaginative and thoughtful ways to ensure each student is given the full benefit of our expertise."
Some workshops require preliminary work and exploration to ensure students are able to enter their class having given their assignments due consideration. To learn more about any of the workshops, please send an email to receive the full class description, schedule, fees and additional information.
