We also would like to send out a huge thank you to Scott Hansen a.k.a ISO50 & TYCHO for his support and providing the audio for this years video.

Good Question > Images on Stickers

We had a good question from one of our members yesterday. She attended the FITC Event and picked up some of our sweet swag. We had a bunch of wicked buttons and skater stickers. They asked if the images on the stickers were part of our stock archive collection to license. The answer is yes! Here is the link to the skater image files, and we also included some matching surfer dudes and chicks. The XL file is in Vector format which is a single file download, however if you are an illustration or dual subscription member, you can download any Small, Medium or Large file on-demand for the duration of your term. Go take a look. Skaters and Surfers

Industry news: CSTC "Fades to black".

Now this is a real shame. We were extremely shocked and saddened to see that the Canadian Screen Training Centre (CSTC) has been forced to close its doors due federal and provincial funding cutbacks. It actually hits us hard as my previous company (MõSHON Digital Media Inc.) sponsored and worked very closely with the CSTC and SIFT in the 1990's.

The CSTC, founded by Tom Shoebridge in 1981, trained more than 7,000 screen professionals and had offered some 600 workshops from coast to coast.
