SIGGRAPH 2010 Electronic Theater to screen at LA ACM SIGGRAPH event
The Los Angeles Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH will host a one night only event, showcasing the world’s finest animation and visual effects in a special screening version of the “Electronic Theater” from the SIGGRAPH 2010 Conference’s Computer Animation Festival. This special edit reel of feature work, art, science, broadcast and games is brought to us by Computer Animation Festival Chair, Isaac V. Kerlow and Technical Director Josh Grow.
“I am always impressed by the quantity and quality of submissions. They find a way to consistently raise the bar every year, making the jury process extremely difficult, but very rewarding” said Grow, who will be present to provide the opening remarks.
This year’s screening of festival highlights will include visual effects clips from recent feature films “2012”, “Alice in Wonderland”, and “Avatar”, along with the latest in ground-breaking short animated and visual effects films. Included will be Best of Show Award Winner “Loom”, now eligible for an Academy Award nomination.
