A colleague on campus, Sharon Katz (katz@stable.ecn.purdue.edu) is looking for other serious users of MacroMind Director. Sharon is a designer who creates computer animations for educational videotapes. She's simply looking for other people who do work similar to hers ... Sharon would like to create an informal MacroMind Director users' group, so to speak. If you use this product for real productions and would like to share your experiences, please write to Sharon at katz@stable.ecn.purdue.edu. Thanks. -John --- John O'Malley / Macintosh / Purdue University / (317) omalley@cc.purdue.edu / Specialist / Computing Center / 494-1787

There are two newsgroups that will probably have a numerically small but proportionately high number of people interested in "authoring" and such... comp.ivideodisc (=interactive videodisc) and comp.multimedia (brand new). One of the things I've liked about c.i so far is that unlike most of the newsgroups, it's not fanatical about restricting subject matter--hard to be narrow when you're talking about a field that includes graphics, animations, text, video, databases, and the kitchen sink... Comp.multimedia was formed at the behest of some who felt that comp.ivideodisc was too restrictive a title ("What about those of us who don't have a videodisc setup?" My feeling: "If you want to talk about animation, interface design, stuff like that, this is still the place, because nearly all of us are doing all those things too," but hey, I havent't been here long enough to catch a serious attack of the "We MUST stay on-topic!" virus...) --K . -- ........................................................................... : Kathy Strong : "Try our Hubble-Rita: just one shot, : : (Clouds moving slowly) : and everything's blurry" : : clouds@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu : --El Arroyo : :..........................................................................:
