BBB goes Hollywood!

Posted in Blogroll, Events, Peach Press by Ton

It’s SIGGRAPH week (10-15 august)!
We’ve managed to get BBB screenings + peach team presentations in the theatres of three exciting Hollywood studios:

  • Disney Feature Animation (friday)
  • Dreamworks Animation (tuesday)
  • Rhythm & Hues studios (wednesday)

This on top of our schedule already:

  • Sunday: Siggraph Sandbox demos, 6-8 PM
  • Monday, three BOFs 2-6 PM
  • Tuesday-Thursday: demos on HP booth
  • Wednesday 8.30 PM: BBB screening and ‘making of’ Panel

Four of the Peach crew artists will help me out for these 7 days, so here’s you chance to meet with Sacha, Nathan, William and Andy. It’s going to be great! Expect lots of pictures and a report here in a week

(Late news: BBB is in official selection for the prestigious Netherlands Film Festival. Whee!)

    Does this mean the people who work at Disney, Dreamworks, and Rhythm & Hues watch your presentations, or is it kind of an anyone can come sort of deal?

    J: the presentations are accessible for very few people, so I’ve limited it to peach crew members. It is a great networking event for the crew, and when we show up with too many people it won’t work.

    Hey Ton, and the BBB team

    It was really nice to meet you all
    Sorry again about the screening, I hope you still enjoyed the visit at the Studio. By the way if you’re fine sending me the pictures you took , that would be great ( I wish to publish a small article on BBB and your visit on my blog)

    Cheers

    Torrent failure:
    I am acting as one of the torrent seeds, and I notice that the torrents seem to be down for some reason. From the UK at at least.

    main page
    http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/

    for example
    big_buck_bunny_1080p_stereo.ogg.torrent
    error message:
    could not connect to host
    blender.waag.org(port 6969)

    Thanks and best wishes

    I hope these screenings went well. I’ve just seen BBB through the Drawn! blog. I loved it: great movement and characterisation.

    Thanks.
