I'm back from L.A. and I had a great time at the conference, although I haven't walked so much since I was 17 and working at a theme park. I won't bore you with the details, but it was five days of non-stop awesome. That is to say, Siggraph was awesome. I was not as taken with the city of Los Angeles and I don't plan on moving there anytime soon, regardless of the kind of work they have. I did manage to see Star Wars Clone Wars at a special event out there and for all you who are thinking of seeing it, don't. I've already commented on Lucas and what he's doing to his legacy and this movie doesn't help.

I know said I won't bore you with the details, but I am going to add a list of highlights anyway.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)


  • Ed Catmull, President of Pixar giving a talk about managing a creative enviornment

  • A Panel discussing the art, influences, and production of Kung Fu Panda

  • A Panel discussing the VFX of Cloverfield and Iron Man

  • A Panel discussing Disney and Pixar's approach to creating short films

  • John Lassater, Head of animation for Disney and Pixar introducing a great short film and an interesting documentary on the history of Pixar

  • Watching a lot of inspiring short animations

  • Lots of awesome new software

  • Lots of free swag

  • Not paying to see Clone Wars

  • Finding out that the technical issues I struggle at work with aren't any easier to deal with for the seasoned VFX artists
