For those who missed Cut & Paste on Saturday, you missed quite a show! These guys put on a fantastic event, and it couldn’t have been more fun to participate. There’s a brief slideshow of the events here, and I’m told that eventually there will be at least some portion of the live broadcast available for view as well, though I don’t think it’s available yet.
For those who missed it completely, here’s the gist: four contestants, two 20 minute rounds on two different themes, and all 3D built from scratch. Head to head, before a live audience of about 600, and a live webcast of a couple thousand. No pressure!
Our two themes were “Tombstone,” and “Nuts & Bolts.” These could be taken literally, figuratively, or any-other-ly, we just had to use them as a jumping off point for the piece. The judges (designers and firm owners from around Boston) would then rank the contestants for various criteria, and the winner would move on to the global championship in June.
I won!! So this means I’ll be headed to NYC June 20th for the Cut & Paste 3D Design global championship! I’m absolutely stoked.
Here’s are a couple of video re-enactments of what I did at the show, for those who missed it:
