Headin' to Siggraph...

IT'S OFFICIAL! Got the company confirmation today, I'll be heading to Siggraph! The down side: THERE'S TOO MUCH! Look at the scheduel, just for Sunday!

Sunday, 31 July:
8:30 am - 12:15 pm - Anyone Can Make Quality Animated Films!
(The Eight Basic Steps to Success) Hall A
Whether the film is one minute or one hour, there are simple basic steps to producing any animated film. This course explains how anyone with a little talent can apply industry-standard techniques to create polished, professional, commercial animated films. All the basic techniques, from developing the initial concept to compositing the final release print, are summarized and discussed. Comprehensive handouts guide attendees through the process.

1:15-3:15pm - Keynote Address: George Lucas

1:45 - 5:30 pm "Madagascar:" Bringing a New Visual Style to the Screen
Hall A
New insights into the creative and technical thought processes required to evolve a new look for a CG movie. Highlights include how moving away from stylized realism required rethinking the creative process, development methods, and technologies, plus a comparison of the approaches that worked with approaches that did not.

BOFs:
10 - noon Sunday
Animation Mentor Gathering
Los Angeles Convention Center
Room 511C

12:30 - 4:30pm Sunday
CG CHAR @ SIGGRAPH Event
Westin Bonaventure Hotel
Catalina Ballroom

And that's just the courses, keynote and BOFs. The convention itself isn't even addressed, or the viewings of yet-to-be-released animated shorts and features, new technology showcases...Sheesh! I need to clone myself FAST!
