The Dark is Rising.

So what is it? The Dark is Rising? The Dark is Rising. The Dark is Rising. Because the Dark could be Falling. You never know. We're moving quickly in this show, which has a very accelerated schedule, hopefully ending near the end of August. Not sure of the number of shots, but we've got a hard hitting team of compers here, which will make short work of the plethora of shots. There are some other big shows in house, but surprise, IMDB doesn't list them. No worries, because the Digital Domain site has them listed In Production. They include The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, Speedracer, and The Golden Compass.

Siggraph is coming up next week! I'm planning on being down there for a day, Wednesday. On Wednesday a bunch of Tippett folk will be down, so it would be great to meet up with them and catch up. Digital Domain will have a large-ish booth, where there will be presentations covering some of the techniques that were used during the production of At Worlds End and Flags of our Fathers, as well as some other shows, which you'll have to show up to see! I don't know if we have any presenters in the panels or sketches this year.

If you're looking for a compositing job, Digital Domain is currently hiring compositors. Check out this post over on VFXpro. The current requirement is a minimum of four years compositing experience. I also want to add that there is a steep learning curve. You definitely learn a lot in a very short amount of time.
