The FITC is an event that brings together the best and brightest Flash developers and gives all Multi-media producers the chance to catch up with the latest developments. And of course, there is the infamous after party!
FITC (Flash in the Can) Started out in 2002 as as Flash Festival in Canada. Today, is organised around the world, from Toronto to Tokyo and LA with over 20,000 attendees.
The programming of the event has diversified a bit since, moving onto motion graphics and mobile technology as they put it themselves: 'The event covers the coolest and best the industry has to offer' !
The FITC covers presentations by several speakers for beginners to the advanced designers. Couple of people attending the FITC to bring you the latest insights this year are Tommy Pallota (producer of
'A Scanner Darkly'), Carlos Ulloa, designer of Papervision 3D (which enables designers to bring 3D content with Adobe Flash) MK12, Kansas City based designers collective who worked on 'Quantum of Solace' and of course GMUNK, design lead for Graphic Design & Animation for 'Tron Legacy'.
Also speaking at the FITC 2011 is Valentijn Destoop, founder of Little Miss Robot, who created and engineered the digital version of Belgium's favourite contemporary comic series 'Suske & Wiske' 311 ('De Stuivende Stad''). The I-Pad edition featured sound and FX and was part of the Special edition, and could be downloaded as an app. They registered 100.000 downloads within the first week.
At their presentation, Destoop and Thomas Joos will give you a look behind the scenes and show you how they created their killer app! So, If you're gonna go, make sure to be there! (their presentation is the second day, March 9 at 10:00 AM).
