LLNN Coverage of Nan Desu Kan 2002


Digital Animation with Shawn the Touched: Creator of numerous digital works for AX and White Radish, Shawn led a discussion on the use of Adobe Premiere 4.2 for scene splicing, Lightwave for scene rendering, and exhibited examples of his works like The Item and Tentacle High 3D. Topics also included making his own sound effects, web media, and DVD vs. VCD quality.	Vocal Musings: Scott McNeil, Tristan MacAvery, and Estevan Olivas led this spirited discussion on what makes the voice actors stay true to their jobs. It's all about literature, humor, education, not being distracted, experience in radio drama, short demo discs, continuous auditions, staying in character, making connections, faith in knowing that companies always have openings for new talent, and of course, the glomp stories.
