Siggraph 2008

Click here to see the teaser



I can remember when the Computer Animation festival was a show everyone looked forward too see each year at Siggraph, because it was supposed to be all the best animation completed from the year - student wise and professional.

The past few years it has gotten a bit stale, but this year it looks like some folks have taken the presentation and Siggraph more seriously! It's a tough nut to crack because these days with the Internet many people have seen most of the content out there, but this promo got me excited to go and actually see the festival in the theater this year, instead of ordering the disk and watching at home.

"The Computer Animation Festival is evolving into a full-scale film festival featuring curated and competition screenings; discussion panels with filmmakers, artists, and producers; a full day of 3D panels, presentations, and screenings; and an awards evening celebrating the artists' accomplishments. Events will be held at both the brand new Nokia Theater and at the Los Angeles Convention Center alongside the rest of the conference."
