Next Event??? random discussion leading up to the Seattle Workshop Announcement.

[permanent_pixels]

Does anyone know when the next event is going to be held in Los Angeles?

[Justin.]

In LA?

... Most of what's going around now next is Italy, and since they JUST had one in San Fran, I doubt they will do another Cali Workshop for a while. My guess would be a Seattle one, or an Orlando one or something.

[sweetoblivion314]

i think Jason said they would never do an East coast USA workshop. But yea Italy will be next and who knows after that. hopefully north america somewhere so i can go again :)

[Main Loop]

los angeles aint east coast

[sweetoblivion314]

i know, Justin mentioned Orlando, and i was just pointing it out.

[ah.heng]

may the one after italy be in asia.

[Simon.Rain]

why not east coast ??

I really wonder =)

[Justin.]

No offense, but there aren't nearly as many members here from China who I think are willing to go, to majority are in Europe and North armerica, and quite a bit in Australia. Though there are some awesome Asian artists, I'd tend to think that would be going a bit out of bounds for most people...

[j a k e]

(I hope)There could be one someday in Australia, which could cater for artists in the Oceania area too (although that's very unlikely based on previous requests for financial reasons for MB i suppose). But that's besides the point, don't want to derail the thread!

[ah.heng]

this is meant to be a learning trip anyway and basing it somewhere away from what you guys are typically used to would be interesting. a chinese temple in north-western china, or in tibet. maybe in bangkok, thailand. or 1 of the small islands of indonesia.

[Mr. Visions]

No east coast WS, why not? Just curious. Also doesn't MB have a set up in Hong Kong? This might provide an avenue for the hopes of a WS in China -

- V

[Justin.]

Well, Conceptart.org is a non-profit Organization. It is pretty much sponsored by MB and US- meaning our turnout to the workshops. I would say that Most of those who attend who are active on the forums barely make it to places like Montreal, San Fran, Prague or Amsterdam (unless they live right close to it), having one in China I think would decrease the attendence Substantially. From the gusto in Jason's typing when urging us to sign up, I assume that they hardly break even, even with attendance packed to the very top.

[Layil]

what he said....

and, we have nothing against the east coast, really... we havent chosed a location for the next north american workshop, so you never know.

:)
in the mean time, get your butts to italy!!

[Olof]

Any info on the Italian one?
I'm getting really interested in this, since I have some cash saved I'd love any info possible so I could see if I can attend :)

Regarding asian WS, I'd believe the cons are more than the pros (costs, language problems contra variety in art). MB and CA maybe isn't that related, but doesn't MB still have their asian office?

.hugs

[Jason Manley]

if we do an asian workshop it will be either in Shanghai or Bangkok, but you know everyone wants to go to Tokyo. We can look into it at some point...I am not going to do any workshop planning for at least a few weeks...if not march...which means italy will fall somewhere between april and june most likely.

[silvestri99]

Well just to state this again. If M.B. does choose to hold one in Seattle I would be more thamn happy to supprt you in any way i could including scouting for the event, scheduling...whatever! But no matter where future workshops are held in the U.S. i intend on making them.!!

[Justin.]

About my comment with Seattle an whatnot, I was just throwing names out, because they have held one in Austin already, which I think has an Ubisoft and some other studios, but Seattle has Arena Net I think, and more importantly it isn't like a billion degrees.

(almost 90 degrees outside in December/January, even for Florida this is getting RIDICULOUS.) It was colder in Montreal in JUNE.

[TheGnoll]

april/june...mmm pleased to hear the next one is going to be i italy almost for sure, but i really hope its not during my exams period...well, there's still some time i guess :)

ciao

[Brun]

man italy would be perfect, atleast if its not during the exams period like thegnoll said, i would go for shure, this would be amazing

[phasma]

Seeeaatttle!
...for the next North American workshop?

I'd love you foreverrr.

[dorian]

still can't quite believe it's going to be in firenze...
our school break here is from 1st of April - 16th of April but I won't care too much about not going to school, should it turn out to be after April 16th ;)

jason: If you want to do anything with the ateliers here, let me know, maybe I can organize something. (Angel Academy of Art (http://www.angelartschool.com/) (where I am), Florence Academy of Art (http://www.florenceacademyofart.com), and Cecil Studios (http://www.charlescecilstudios.com)) day of open door, mini workshop with our maestro or whatever. Just get back to me whenever you feel like thinking about the next workshop again ;)


.

[Ninja_ASSN]

Im signing here as well.. have to stay updated for any further workshops, most likely in italy? :D

[Soja]

Italy would be so awsome!!
I will be there too!!

[Wolfbane]

It's in the middle of my exams! :dead:
But i hope that i can make it somehow, depends on the speciffic date.

[vigostar]

Im rallying for a NYC North American workshop... I could def. lend a hand if you guys ever considerate it...

[Rabid]

Im rallying for somewhere on the east coast, my dream is to meet some of these masters and gain some wisdom and crits...esp from Llewellyn...mans my hero!! I vote for orlando/new york I think after the Italy manuever we should head back to home base for a showing...;)

[Grendel Grack]

A New York workshop would be phenominal. Another possible location could be Atlanta. I know a bunch of Atlanta Sketch Group people who would be REALLY excited about that <wink, wink, nudge, nudge>

[Lohan]

three cheers for a new york WS

[timpaatkins]

Hoorah!

[chaosrocks]

NYC would be awesome, or atlanta Less awesome but accesable and less expensive

how about DC?
very international.....awesome art, for free

chaos

[Wasker]

No no, NYC wouldn't be awesome, nor would DC ;)

Go to Sweden where the women are beautiful and the men bearded!

Or anywhere close to Sweden. :groupie2:

[spudstudios]

if we do an asian workshop it will be either in Shanghai or Bangkok, but you know everyone wants to go to Tokyo. We can look into it at some point...I am not going to do any workshop planning for at least a few weeks...if not march...which means italy will fall somewhere between april and june most likely.


Please make it before late June please....I am not around from the 18th June then. I have been waiting ages for Italy.:(

[JagoArt]

id love to come to one of these but not sure what to expect. If there was a london workshop id be in for sure but this florence one just is beyond my wallett im affraid, not the tuition. Italy is an expensive country, especially a tourist trap like Florence.

[BohemianChaos]

If there ever was one in Orlando, I'd be more than willing to house some of my peeps at my place :) Not to mention I know where some of the less expensive hotels and such are, if the MB guys ever needed some info. (I'd love to have one in Otown!! :tihi:)

[Irish_Jim]

Hey, just jumping on the bandwagon to tell you if you were to hold a WS in Seattle, there's a few great spots for it, including the Washington State Convention Center (http://www.wsctc.com/jump_pages/event_conventions.aspx) right in the heart of downtown, near hotels and food.

Also, I'd auction my left testicle if that's what it took to attend.

[brunoguedesdemorais]

any chances to be in Sao Paulo, Brazil??

give us a chance hehehehehe, reaching the south america too guys!


cheers

[Earendil]

I know this isn't a democratic decision necessarily, but I'm throwing my vote for Seattle as the next location.

[Jason Manley]

Well...can't say any of you are close. It is ASIA. Shanghai to be exact. Super cheap food, super cheap hotels, super cheap taxi's, and more culture than any of us westerners have tasted in years.

Join us. More info http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1326254#post1326254 and will also show up in new threads here in the workshop section.

Look for dates and location information soon.


Jason

[Grumbledook]

has the florence one been scrapped/delayed then?

[Ninja_ASSN]

yes, that is what Im asking myself now... Im from Slovenia, a neighbour of Italy so this would be really a shame for me :(

[Jason Manley]

As much as we had hoped to find the right spot in Italy, the workshop in florence has been delayed until 2008. We were unable to find an appopriate workshop location there currently. We will continue to explore options there. However, we have made the decision to focus on our first workshop in Asia, as mentioned. We have appropriate spaces found easily and it is a much more affordable city to hold an event in.

My heart will always be in Italy though...we will find a way to get it done.


Jason

[Ninja_ASSN]

thnx for the info Jason! so we can start planing our summer time now and maybe even a trip to Asia :)

[LoTekK]

Seeing as I'm in Singapore... I am SO THERE! :O

edit: as long as it's not on the second week of June...

[Jason Manley]

spread the word...it is time for conceptart.org to take over Shanghai!

:)

[Unbreakable]

oh snap! Shanghai!

[Farvus]

I don't have enough money for plane tickets to Shanghai. Game over :sadcheerleader:.

Maybe next time or something...

[Jason Manley]

we will return to europe eventually. no worries. :)

[TheGnoll]

uhm.Well, this is kinda sad :(

but...uhm, why not.
I hope you'll give us all the info ASAP, i really need 'em...so it should be around late august/early september or what?

i dunno why but i'm getting kind of excited already, from you posts in the lounge shangai looks like heaven.
I really hope i can afford this one :)

ciao!

[zan9000]

Damn, i was looking forward to italy since it was first suggested. Shanghai's gunna be a little bit to expensive for me. can't wait for 08'!

[Earendil]

Apparently, you can get cheaper airfare if you act as some kind of "shipping validator", where you actually fly in a mail plane or something. 300 bucks to asia from what I hear. I'm going to look into it.

CouchSurfing.com also might be able to hook people up with somewhere to crash for the duration of the event.

[ShulChi]

disappointed to hear about Italy :(, ... Like NinjaASSN I'm also from Slovenia and was looking very forward to this event in Italy. But well, .. if it can't be done ... :rolleyes:

... what if you guys come to Slovenia?! :bashful: it's really really close ... and our drivers are calmer >:D ;)

oh well, ... at least i have some time to prepare not to attend the event like a total noob :P

:yayca:

[Farvus]

oh well, ... at least i have some time to prepare not to attend the event like a total noob :P

That's what I thought too.
The only good thing is that I will have more time to prepare some really neat portfolio. Right now it's not enough.

[P J]

the date delay for the italy workshop is actualy good news for me, i couldn't have come this year but i might be able to come in 2008

[Evil_Sloth]

Man I hope you pull out all the stops in Shanghai Jason!
gonna be sick.

[CGMonkey]

i was kinda hoping for italy ah well.. SHANGHAI it is!

So when are we gonna get more info? Is it to late to start saving? ;)

[Earendil]

Look into flying as a courier. You can get up to 1/4th off the normal price of a ticket.

[Rabid]

well ill try but shanghai will be a huge bruise in the wallet....info located where jason? :)

[Jabo]

China? Now that sucks...

[Stark]

Yeah..not making that one...unless I can swindle some old women into paying for it... *concocts a plan of pure evilness*

[Hanuka]

It might not be all that bad, if you calculate it through. Sure, the flight will be expensive from europe or the us, but if they lower the tuition and you consider the low costs of living there - the thing probably won't add up to more than 900 us-bucks, no matter where you're coming from. given, that you're serious about this and there's some time ahead to save the money, i think it's very reasonable for what you get.

[Jabo]

Uh... I don't know what you were dreaming of when you wrote it, but I couldn't find a flight cheaper than 900 € for that time of the year, and considering that we probably won't know the exact date earlier than two months before the workshop, it's quite possible that the total costs of this will rise to about 1,500 (€, that is).

My problem isn't so much the price (been saving money anyway), but the date. If this workshop will be moved to somewhere after July, I can't get the holiday needed to fly (Zivildienst. As much as I'd love to skip the job for some days to go to Shanghai, I'm not willing to go to jail for it). That's why Florence in August sounded so much better than Shanghai in September. So I'm just hoping that the binding date and place will be up soon so everybody can book stuff.

[zan9000]

Florence would have been great. What I don't understand is how why they didn't tell us sooner it wasn't happening, rather then deciding not to go to Florence, then booking tickets to Shanghai, going to Shanghai, then begin to look for another place to host the workshop in Shanghai, then tell us.

[Hanuka]

Uh... I don't know what you were dreaming of when you wrote it, but I couldn't find a flight cheaper than 900 € for that time of the year, and considering that we probably won't know the exact date earlier than two months before the workshop, it's quite possible that the total costs of this will rise to about 1,500 (€, that is).


for end of august/september i found most flights for less than 600 (with taxes and fees like 714) euros total (from frankfurt), and i suppose if you look deeper, you'll find even better deals. and since we're almost mid-june. they got shit ahead as well, i guess if they announced it right now it would be at least 2, 3 months ahead.

ps: i'm in the same shitty situation with my zuvieldienst, but i didnt use any of my holidays yet.

[Jabo]

I haven't used any of my holidays yet too, but since I'm working in a school, I can only have my holidays over the school holidays (which will be over on August 17th this year in Hessen).

I'll check the flights. Which airline did you look up?

[Hanuka]

I checked various options at www.cheaptickets.com and found an aeroflot flight from amsterdam (which, for me, is just as far as frankfurt) via moscow for 592 US-Dollars (with Sep 4th till 13th as flight dates) + tax and fees = 783$... thats somewhere around 587 Euros. I think I even had a cheaper flight, but cant find it right now. It' all a matter of having enough time ahead i guess.

[Jason Manley]

I will have more info on dates soon...we are still looking at spaces...my guess is that it is 3 months minimum as we need time to get the word out it here. Will depend on space availability in the end.

You guys are going to want to have your cameras for this one...the surfaces and textures and the people here are amazing to see.

can't wait!


Jason

[koshime]

Well - love to come but the cost of flights to shanghai in AugusT is £560, and coupled with tuition fees it'll probably be close to almost a thousand squids (accomadation,food/travel/sight seeing)

So, guess I'm definately not coming this time, and hope to see you all in europe sometimes 2008/9.

[Alien Ape Star]

Hello! If the workshop will be in Florence 2 to 3 months from now (august/september) I ould love to come! I heard that some agencies offer plane tickets from Romania to Italy for somthing like 10 -20 $, adding up other expences 300 - 400 euros for food, bed and transportation i guess it`s a possibility that you guys could see a lot of romanian CA members in Florence! :yayca:

[Earendil]

http://www.courier.org/

Check this out. Do some research. It may be worth your while.

[Hanuka]

hrm no update yet? :/

[Rabid]

Can't do Shanghai but Italy sounds perfect please make a nice fresh thread for the Italy trip when you get a chance!

[stalsby]

Come to Dallas, Texas! Dallas!!!

[silvestri99]

Is there any word, time frame or whatever on the next stateside workshop? Insomania wired me up for wanting more more more!!

[Loolarge]

Same here, i was kinda jealous about Insomnia. But italy is quite reachable from here!

[Hanuka]

guys, read a bit O_o as of now, it's gonna be shanghai - not italy.

but then again, that was over a month ago.

[Vulture]

Please come to Orlando before Oct 2008, we need the art....we have a Club Paris for christs sake!!!! :nohope: But I will be leaving Mickey rats nest for the west coast next year, the day I graduate I leave for somewhere between San Fran and Vancouver!

[Ogre800]

i'm dying to go to one of the workshops! i've never been before and will be quite disappointed if it's all the way in shanghai. i may be able to swing italy, but even that'll be tough. i could go for another stateside one or canada, etc.

i hope they give more than just three months advance! i gotta have some time to make those plans and talk the company i work for into paying for it ; )

[LoTekK]

Yeah, advance notice for Shanghai would be nice. I've got a few trips in the region coming up, and it would be nice to be able to plan everything out so I don't get any clashes. Really looking forward to this, though.

[Slither Astray]

ohh man,Iwas so looking forward to this! I really hoped it would be italy, shanghai is waaaay to far away for me :(
This sucks *cries*
I can't find any new info on the insomnia website btw, is it beeing in china a fact now?

[paberu]

Can we get an update on Shanghai workshop, cos it's going to be hard to get there with a short notice.

[tensai]

Yeah, advance notice for Shanghai would be nice. I've got a few trips in the region coming up, and it would be nice to be able to plan everything out so I don't get any clashes. Really looking forward to this, though.

Same here, word for word. Would absolutely love to go to a Shanghai workshop. Would hate to miss it cause I was somewhere else while I could have been in Shanghigh, drawing and learning with the masters :bashful:.

[spudstudios]

It would be really nice to get an update on this. I guess massive Black must be really busy..This time of year a lot of Games titles and Movies are trying to get finished up for their "fall" assault so that may be holding things up...

[Slither Astray]

I'm like checking this thread 3 times a day.. yes, I'm that obsessed, I seriously wanna go!

[dorian]

slither astray: in case you're serious: save time and subscribe to this thread with email notification ("thread tools" right below thread page selection on top).. ;]

[Slither Astray]

Dorian: *feels like a noob* thanks dude.. :bashful:

[Idiot Apathy]

I'm hoping it's later than Sept 1st ... someone lazy still needs a passport :0
Would be nice to know for airfare as well, getting more and more expensive.

[Juhani Jokinen]

I've been wanting to go to a CA workshop a while now. I missed insomania and would love to go to the next one.

In terms of location Sanghai might be a bit unreachable compared to Italy, though.

Would love to hear some more info!

-Juhani

[Erilaz]

I will have more info on dates soon...we are still looking at spaces...my guess is that it is 3 months minimum as we need time to get the word out it here.


From what Jason says above, we won't get any info for another month at least, so don't hold your breath.

[Jason Manley]

We are going to be doing something a little different this time. We are working on the workshop poster and info and will have an announcement by the end of this month. Thanks for everyone's patience!


j

[Hanuka]

sweet.

[CGMonkey]

I'm hamstering money as a... uh.. pig, so this better be a good one ;)

[LoTekK]

Thanks for the update, Jason. Much appreciated. :)

[Chiko]

Oh I want more then anything to go to a CA workshop. I hope the next location is do-able for me :P

[Zaxser]

It'd be so much better if there'd be one of these around Christmas so school wouldn't get away like Insomnia was. Then I'd go for sure. Too bad Jason keeps saying it'll be next month. Enjoy the workshop.

[spudstudios]

waiting..........waiting.................please update jason.

[cartoonfox]

I don't think I can afford NOT to go to this one, and miss the opportunity to visit Shanghai! Hope I can make it.

[Stark]

Yeah, not making this one...maybe the next stateside one or the next Europe one...being in the heartland of the US is not a good spot for international travel

[Zord]

I don't think I can afford NOT to go to this one, and miss the opportunity to visit Shanghai! Hope I can make it.

I totally agree man. Can't wait for the new information.

[Bard]

Hope I can come up with the money in time for the trip!
Hold out as long as you can...hehe

Wish come true!

[Jason Manley]

I have come to share a little bit of news.

We are doing two workshops this winter.

The first will be in Seattle in December. We are scouting locations now. We wanted to choose a place for a truly "winter" workshop and Seattle beat out Minneapolis and New York City for the show. Those in Seattle never saw that coming I bet. :) It is going to be a great show and we are going to pull out all the stops. Expect the big names, the big show, and artists from all over the world attending the Seattle event. Dates and location will be announced soon.

The next will be the Shanghai workshop which is going to be a balance of foundation concept design, 3d modeling, texturing, and animation for the games industry. The China event will be in Feb. We will put out more info soon. If you are looking to have the foundations of your perspective on the world completely shaken, Shanghai will do it. China is amazing.





Jason

[invinciblewombat]

oh snap, i don't have to freak out about getting my passport in time now, thank you mr. manley

[joelhinxman]

YAY i can totaly drive to seattle for that one and i turn 26 in feb mabey i beg the fam for the cash for shanghai. but theres no way i can miss the seattle one.

[spudstudios]

Cool.. Seattle here i come!

[cartoonfox]

Cool. More time to save up for Shanghai, and I'd love to visit Seattle. Will the dates be early, mid or late December?

[Maestro Andres]

Great update! I heard how Imsomnia was last year, look forward for this. Thanks for the news Jason.

[Björn]

yaaay seattle... that's totally doable for me. Thank you!

[silvestri99]

Jason. Seattle...thank you! I'm local and more than willing to lend a hand getting things set up, scouting or anything else you need. Since insomania I swore i'd make all the stateside workshops but i didn't know the next one would land in my back yard. Let me know and I'll send contact info. Again..thank you!!!

[Killer Napkins]

oh man ... i definately need to go to the next one.. i have been wanting to go to all of them but have never had the money.. i think this time i will..

[Stark]

Hey Killer, I'm over in Nebraska. Originally from JCMO, I'm trying to make it as well...would be good to have a fellow Show Me stater in the mix

[hawkwin]

Yes, please more info in China. :D It's the closest workshop I can get.

[Sirio_Brozzi]

:) Awesome to hear its a seattle event this year. Hope its early/mid December. Looking forward to dates.

[Slither Astray]

I'm gonna try my hardest to make it at the shanghai event, I've never been to china! totallt looking forward to it :D

[central]

Def gonna save up for the shanghai WS ... Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll hit the magic bank figure by then

[koshime]

They better lower the fee structure, because its locally based and housing event such as this collectively should be less with the housing market crash now

[silvestri99]

There is a hostel downtown and possibly a deal could be worked out with the Art Institute student housing. Lots of options. If it stays priced close to San Francisco it should be really do-able.

[LoTekK]

Feb would be fantastic, especially since that's birthday month for me. ^^ Much thanks, Jason, hope to hear more concrete details in due time.

[Rabid]

There is a hostel downtown and possibly a deal could be worked out with the Art Institute student housing. Lots of options. If it stays priced close to San Francisco it should be really do-able.

What? Your actually thinking about sleeping at some point during this thing? :yawn:

[hawkwin]

SHANGHAI QUESTION how much is the workshop going to cost? I'm hoping to get to save-up for it. Rough approximations will do.

:D

[S!R]

well, from previous info gathered the Seattle workshop is $600 USD (with Massive Black supplementing a portion of the tuition for early registrars. DATES pllleeeeease!!! :) )

Don't know how that will translate to Shanghais costs.....

[Jason Manley]

More info on the Shanghai event will come later this year as we begin to wrap up the Seattle show.

In the meantime, here is the initial instructor list for Seattle, which is now TENATIVELY scheduled for the first weekend of Jan. We will announce the firm and official dates next week.

We will announce more instructors as they confirm dates.

Speaking of, we just added Tinfoil from ArenaNet. He is a personal favorite of mine. I look forward to watching him work and learning from him too.

[Jason Manley]

And the one and only Todd Lockwood too.

This is going to be an awesome show.


Jason

[silvestri99]

[silvestri99]

I'll schedule my days off now......maybe a couple extra on the tail end to rest up...

Yay!!!!!! Dates!

[Sirio_Brozzi]

woo, dates! Heck yes :P

[silvestri99]

Woot! Spread the word... I already have several locals chomping at the bit to come to this one. Got the dates down, days off and drawing utensil set!

[Jason Manley]

this thread is becoming the discussion thread...will start a new one for the instructor list...

[Stark]

So is there some kind of direction this thing will take? I mean, demo to demo, booth to booth, drawing to drawing, how are we supposed to get around to everyone? And do you have any idea what kind of time frame we are talking about? 11pm-6am or...just gonna wing it until everyone passes out?

Sigh. I could make it if it was in Dec. but work won't let me off in Jan. And I'm always too broke after Christmas/NewYear's holidays. Grrrrr. I'll have to live vicariously thru the forums and my Insomania buddies :$ I really hope some DVDs can be made!

im curious though.. (im sure youll post this later too) .... but can anyone who has gone to these before fill me in on some stuff i should bring and what not.. itd be great if you could PM me or something..... thanks

If we go ahead and buy a ticket (and register), then somehow couldnt raise the rest of the money for flights and hotel, would that ticket be good for another workshop? Or should we just make sure we have all the money to go before buying a ticket? I could probably get the money for a ticket by Nov 1 but not all the money by then.

[Jason Manley]

Tickets will be refundable until Dec 4. So if you want to book it now you are welcome. That will give you time to get the hotel/flights together. If it goes beyond that you would be welcome to use that ticket for the next workshop as well.
