I sat down for a one on one conversation with Bobby Beck CEO and President of Animation Mentor at this years SIGGRAPH conference. Prior to starting Animation Mentor Bobby had worked at Pixar Animation Studios, Tippet Studio, And Walt Disney Feature Animation. His Animation credits include Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. and The Incredibles. We discussed the current industry job trend and Bobby offers some excellent animation advice.

The Blender Foundation will not have its own booth at SIGGRAPH this year. Instead, two ‘Birds of a Feather’ meetings will be held. During the ‘Blender Community Meeting’, Ton Roosendaal will discuss this year’s results and give a sneak preview of Sintel. At the ‘Durian & Blender Artist Showcase’ you’ll see more Sintel and community art work. For more info, visit Blender.org.
For those of you who have complained in the past as to why I cover SIGGRAPH on this site, I give you the following papers trailer. As I’ve stated before, that in addition to the Blender conferences held there SIGGRAPH also leads to new ideas for animation software including Blender.
Note the coverage of E.D. and Nils Thurey papers. (See the film credits for details)
And yes, I will be at SIGGRAPH this year and hope to bring you some exciting interviews.
