I am sitting today in Stan Kong’s beginning product design class (ACCD alumni and a renowned teacher) that currently teaches at PCC (Pasadena City College).
While speaking with him a bit about the ACCD (Art Center College of Design) loss of teaching culture, he mentioned a video called Roland is God. Roland Young, a teacher at ACCD a few years back, was one to really carry on the core attitude of Tink’s genuine vision of ACCD teaching methodology.
Watch these video bellow and then read the text bellow

The big take away I got from this conversation (an eye opening in my regards), is that despite the demanding and potentially emotionally straining teaching practices the real purpose was to push push push students for two main reasons.
1. Geting rid of the students that were not truly devoted to this career
2. By the end of the course you were the shit or at least had reached your peak.
I find this fascinating.
I do not know, however, if todays generation along with its various political dynamics of the institution are still in phase with this methodology. A practice that seems harsh at first, but has had clearly efficient results, as seen in the successes of the college alumni.
Hope you enjoyed this.

Last week we had the fantastic opportunity to have James Clyne to come and talk to us about what he does for the movie industry as a Concept Designer and he assigned us an assignment to make a space station in the style of the FallingWater house by Frank Lloyd Write.
Here is my initial research on the project where in the first page I identified some relevant theme and key point that Frank Lloyd Wright focused on when designing this house.
The next two are where my mind went from there. And right now I am currently working on the Space Station that will be inspired or reflect all this.
Enjoy…
And after all this research here it is. I used photoshop to compose the background. Sketch up to make the 3d model and environment then Bunk speed to render the model on the background then back to photoshop to give it the dynamic whirls etc…
I hope you like.
Enjoy…
PS: The station is called Usonia

Here is the first test of the compositing of our Racer model into a Video to make it look like it is real size. Using Boujou as a camera tracker. 3ds max to render the model that was designed under solid works and then composited with after effects.
