February 28, 2008

UCA this week welcomed Jason Bube, a 3-D computer animation artist at NBC Artworks in New York City, who presented two workshops and an evening lecture as Artist in Residence for the College of Fine Arts and Communication.

Bube creates broadcast graphics and illustrations of current events for MSNBC and is a member of the team that designs and implements the look and feel of the cable news channel. During the residency, he led two graphics workshops that included demonstrations using 2D and 3D computer animation tools, and he described NBC's graphic workflow from initial design to going on the air. He also gave an evening talk about working in the 24-hour news industry and the restructuring that NBC recently underwent.
