Is this Hunter Wimmer’s SoftSpot?
February 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Updates
We spent some time taping and stickering up the graphic design floor of the Academy. We left a softy sticker on Hunter Wimmer’s door, and found this days later. Sources have yet to confirm if this is actually his SoftSpot, but we will keep you updated on this breaking news.
In other news, stickers are out and about. If you see one feel free to get a sharpie and write your softspot. If you want some to put up around town email us at whatsup@thesoftspot.org. We’ll see what we can do.

The SoftSpot at Compostmodern 09
February 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Updates
The SoftSpot had a great time at Compostmodern this year. The speeches were all informative and inspiring, and we got to catch up with many of the softys that will be profiled at our exhibition in March. Thanks to Phil Hamlett for giving us the connections to promote the show. And we got a major shout out from Dawn Danby in her speech. We will be posting the video of that as soon as it is available!

I am piled deep in found footage, maybe like 50 hours worth and am readily relief sculpting away at the finished product. I am also rendering out multiple compositions for the title cards I’m using in the specially curated found footage series I’m screening. Here is a debut of a few screen shots for the good people of softspot blog.
Evidently I am doing my best at concealing the money shots until the show. Enjoy.
assorted stills from a grab bag of reels I am stripping.
Updating regularly.
