    Hey nice video. Cool to see how Ton, Bassam and the others relay at Siggraph. I hope Siggraph was very cool and succesful for you, Blenderheads. Thanks for sharing this video.

    I don’t find they look bored…

    It’s more a “did the earth move for you too?” kind of look (like, they finished what they had to do, and now oh-boy-time-to-have-some-fun-and-ogle-the-booth-babes-o-darn-there-are-none…)

    I was almost expecting them to have a smoke with those beers :)

    What’s the stuff we see @0:35-0:36, it seems like a human figure well animated… In the game engine?

    This was after a very long day and everyone was winding down. Well almost winding down. The BBB crew had a big Making of BBB presentation for the next morning which is why you see them hovered around the laptop adjusting their presentation for it. Jason was siting by himself while Ton went to get drinks for everyone.

    Also keep in mind the jet lag, the majority where still adjusting to a 9 -12 hour time difference. Most from Europe. and Sacha from Singapore which is where he now lives, teaching animation. Overall, we had a very relaxing time.

    Thanks for the drinks Ton!
