A Nativity with Laser Cutters: Exploring Creative Possibilities 'vectric forum nativity'

As we approach the holiday season, many of us are busy preparing for celebrations and gift-giving. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, it's easy to overlook creative pursuits that can bring joy and fulfillment. However, as members of the Home Metal Shop Club, I'd like to invite you to explore a unique and fascinating intersection of technology and art: using laser cutters to create nativity scenes.

On December 16 at 7:00pm, I will be hosting a Zoom session to discuss how laser cutters operate and their potential applications in creative projects. This is not a tutorial on how to use LightBurn software; for that, you should reach out to Greg Radliff. Instead, we'll delve into the basics of laser cutting technology and explore ways to integrate it with video editing software like DaVinci Resolve.

To get the most out of this session, I recommend watching Casey Ferris's video tutorials beforehand, as they provide valuable insight into the capabilities and limitations of laser cutters. During the Zoom session, we'll also be using two monitors: one for viewing Casey's videos and another for running Resolve.

In addition to the Zoom session, I'd like to draw your attention to the 'Video Scratch' folder on our computer, which contains Casey Ferris's Resolve Master Training program. This comprehensive resource is designed to help you learn DaVinci Resolve quickly and effectively. For those interested in exploring this software further, we may even set up our own video editing suite with newer equipment.

Currently, we're utilizing loaner equipment for our trial video editing suite at the lab. Everyone's busy preparing for the holidays, but I hope you'll take a moment to consider the creative possibilities that await you. Take a look at our list of gift ideas later in this newsletter for inspiration.

I'd like to extend my warmest wishes to everyone for a wonderful Thanksgiving and a joyous holiday season.
