Another event during SIGGRAPH


I got an email from Rick May at the CGCHAR forums asking if I could plug their event on Wednesday the 3rd at SIGGRAPH. It’s a presentation by a very talented group of animation pros including Doug Bennett, Henry Anderson, Jason Schleifer, Andrew Gordon, and Carlos Baena.

I’d love to be able to go to this.

Here’s a flier with more details.

UPDATE: Did I mention it’s FREE?

SIGGRAPH 2005


SIGGRAPH is returning to take over downtown L.A. next week. The Disney booth is back too and we’ll have real live animators there to demo our tools and answer questions. They’re taking reels too, so bring it on!

On Tuesday, I’ll be working the booth and driving the Maya from 10 to 12:30. Stop by and say hi if you’re in the neighborhood.

See you there,
Clay

iTunes 4.9 supports podcasts


I was so excited this morning when I upgraded my iTunes software to see the new podcasting feature of the iTunes Music Store, and saw that The Animation Podcast is listed! Now there’s a place where all my shows are available in one easy list. I haven’t downloaded anything yet, but it looks super easy (hey, Apple made it). Now I’ve got to learn how to fill in a bit of information they don’t have from me, but thaz cool nazgul.

I’m not going to trash my iPodder and iPodderX just yet, but if this works the way it should, I don’t see much use for them anymore. This may be the simplest way to find and subscribe to many different podcasts so check it out and let me know what you think.

Here’s the link to The Animation Podcast at the iTunes Music Store. (The link only works on a computer that has iTunes installed.)

DVDTalk.com interview with Brad Bird


While I’m working on getting Show 2 ready, I thought I’d pass along this link to a Brad Bird interview conducted by DVDTalk.com from March of this year. It’s not mine, but it is about animation. You can expect Show 2 from me on Saturday.
