I watched some presentations on Lightwave 10, and Autodesk MotionBuilder today, and I was totally inspired to learn what i can about them. MotionBuilder would be a little harder to learn anything about since I dont exactly have access to MoCap footage but it was very cool none the less. Lightwave also looked pretty interesting, and while i havnt really even heard much about it before I would like to learn, and see what i can do inside it.
I stood at nVidia’s booth for a long time because they were having a drawing contest where they would have like 7 drawing horses set up and give the people a theme (hungry, hairy, fabulous) and they would have 20 minutes to draw a picture incorporating the theme and the nVidia logo. Was pretty interesting and fun to watch.
My favorite booth of course was Pixar’s!
I even took a picture. They were doing on the spot interview/talks but there was a bit of a line. I am hoping to get there pretty early tomorrow and have a chance to talk to them and a few other places doing on the spot interviews. Anyhow here is a picture of Pixar’s booth (aka. sunnyside)

Just got back from Staples a little while ago with all the things i need for the next couple days. There is a huge job fair at SIGGRAPH so I put together several folders with my demo reel, resume, and a couple other things to hand out. Much to my excitement, everything I needed was at Staples and for very good prices!
Tomorrow morning I am gonna get up and get all my stuff ready and hopefully have a great day with a lot of opportunity! Get alotta business cards and meet alotta people, those are my goals!

I have been planning for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday’s trip to the convention center. Since I have learned my way around on the Metro so well lately i went to Metro’s website and they have a trip planner that will map out a complete course for you. Not only that, but you can put in times to arrive or leave by, and it tells you exactly how much the fare will cost, its just so simple. Being afraid of riding the bus and all that, it sure is nice to have everything be so easy and simple. So 2 thumbs up to the Metro for helping me get to SIGGRAPH!

Each morning I am waking up to 5-8 emails for new products, booths to be visited, and exciting things to see next week at SIGGRAPH! I must say, I am getting more and more anxious to see all the neat new technology and meet people! There is a HUGE job fair during the exhibition Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and I plan to be there for most all of it. I am gonna drag my sister along with me for at least one day. I really hope she will enjoy it with me. Or at least pretend to, lol.
I have been working on updating my demo reel and marketing package prior to the job fair, hopefully someone might be impressed enough to watch my demo reel. I will post some pictures in the next few days.
