T2′s industry peer group: Next stop – KC

I’m a big believer in serendipity — and that’s how I became a part of eCamp, an amazing trade group of industry leaders. I ran into one of the founders of eCamp in Las Vegas where we were promoting our documentary, “The Next American Dream”. He asked me to join and, not being a big “joiner,” I hesitated. But I said I’d give it a try, and when eCamp held their next meeting in Boston, I joined them. I was amazed at how much I learned from others in my industry — and how much I referenced what I learned when I got back home. It’s a great concept, and one of my colleagues in Dallas wrote about it. It’s a fun read and includes some pictures from our last meeting in San Francisco.

And believe it or not, they are all excited to come to Kansas City next September when T2+Back Alley Films will host the group. Boston, San Francisco…Kansas City? Why not?

Experience Lab Program-a-Lama Internship

T2+Back Alley Films in KC MO is looking for interns for our Experience Lab department. We are looking for the perfect intern who has a passion for programming, puzzle/problem solving and who isn’t afraid to crack their knuckles and let the magic of code flow from their fingertips. The T2 Experience Lab has a multitude of experiential projects, spanning from physical installations to web-based components. Basically, anything that takes the average participant into a whole new realm of interactivity. Visuals speak louder than words so take a look at the videos below to see our most recent work.

This is why we need someone nimble, adventurous, who loves to experiment and play with new technology! Thus far we’ve been working with Actionscript, Processing, PHP, TUIO and Max MSP. We’ve been hacking apart the Kinect, Arduino boards and basically anything we can get our hands on. But, we’re growing so we need help. If you have experience in the above listed languages or feel like you could contribute even more, please email Garrett Fuselier by June 1st (11:59 pm) with a sampling of projects you’ve worked on, and 2-3 paragraphs about how you feel you could contribute.

We’ll go through a selection process, and the interns will begin on July 1st.

Experience Lab Design Internship!

T2 is seeking a design intern who has strong interactive intuition. The T2 Experience Lab has been hard at work in experiential design– a medium that we feel connects with people in a whole new way. We do a variety of experiential projects from physical installations with interactive projections to web-based components where the participant feels completely engaged. See the videos below:

Simply put, we’re growing, and we need more design collaborative brainpower to move forward. You must be willing to experiment and work within the applications of Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and AfterEffects. Google SketchUp experience is a huge plus as well!

You’ll be working on real projects, doing on site visits of spaces and helping design the experience from beginning to end.

If you feel like you would work well in an active environment, please email 6-10 examples of your work along with 2-3 paragraphs of how you could contribute to Garrett Fuselier by June 1st. Not to belittle any of your print skills, but we’ll be primarily looking at digital work, so be sure to weight your sampling appropriately.

We’ll go through a selection process, and the interns will begin on July 1st.
