Our not for profit organization has been formerly organized as an Oregon nonprofit membership corporation, Imaginarium Foundation.  All of our communications, materials and websites carry our ”Doing business as,” title of Imaginarium Productions.  We will be changing those materials to our official name over the next couple of months. The official organizing meeting for Imaginarium Productions was held on Sunday, January 22, 2006 and our board was elected.  We are starting a new project to propose as monthly public access television program.  The program will be documenting the “Imaginarium experience,” of our members collaborating on various film projects for fun and experienced based education. We are currently meeting two nights a week to work through two processes:  Production Design and Storyboard thumbnail pitches.    During the production design meeting last week our members were working on a scene from the “X and Y,” script to come up with a visual breakdown and finalize production designs for the set, props, vehicles and gadgets in that scene.  We have started breakdowns and design for 3 scenes and have 96 scenes remaining. During the script storyboard meeting we had three members pitching thumbnail sketches for their vision of scenes from the “X and Y,” script.  We have pitched 31 scenes and have 68 remaining.  As a side project there has been considerable technical effort put in by Ted Gocek to document our planed CGI pipeline for production stage modeling to final rendering.
