A new week, a new show

Yep! The Dark Is Rising is now complete! The movie comes out in less than a month, so be sure to check it out. I have no idea where our work is in the movie, but I have a feeling it'll be near the end. Immediately after it last week, I started working on the next show coming out this year, The Golden Compass, which comes out in December. We've got a fair number of artists on the show, and I actually just finalled three shots so far.

The VFXTalk gathering last weekend was a great success! We had close to a hundred people, double what I expected, and it was getting pretty crowded in there. For our next one we'll have a bigger venue. The tentative schedule is sometime in March 2008, so if your company wants to be a presenter, please contact me. These gatherings are a great time to mingle with artists from other companies, network, and see and talk to industry artists directly. Thanks go to Luma Pictures, Method Studios, and Digital Domain, who did some great presentations. The meeting was sponsored by VFXTalk of course, Plugin, and CGNews. They all have some great plans for the future, so be sure and check them out. VFXTalk is the only one that's not currently in beta, so expect occasional changes and improvements on the other two. VFXTalk is our community forum, Plugin is our professional networking service, and CGnews is our computer graphics news aggregator.
