A new copy of the Squid Juice video has been uploaded and will hopefully fix the playback problem. Please give it a little time to process for the upload.

There is a problem with the playback of Squid Juice’s video. It is NOT supposed to be jumpy. We will try to fix the problem and reload the animation as soon as possible.
Just a reminder that the award ceremony starts at 6pm today in Hall E 1-2. Please be sure to be there no later than 6:10 as we are scheduled for about 6:15 and it will be a very short ceremony. We will be showing the awesome documentary made by Michael Shu and Anthony Vu as well as the winners films.

Well were we hoping to have the videos of the films up by now. We’ve encountered some technical difficulties getting them up on the web for your viewing. Hopefully we’ve found the solution and are trying to upload them now.
In the meantime, we had many requests for the playlist of the music that was blasted through the night. Zach and Ron have given me the list for all you who would like it.

The samba dancers arrived with a booming drum beat. After an on stage performance they came out into the crowd and grabbed a few people. Fun was had by all! The teams are now in the very final stage of the process, rendering out their films. We’ll be posting their films as soon as we have them. Awards ceremony is Thursday at 6pm Hll E1-2. Anyone is welcome to attend.

For our 2nd to last distraction, the lovely Kitty performed for us. A few of the men were distracted and I noticed even the women were moving to the music. The most appreciative were the tech support guys. But they’re evil, so it figures!
Next up is the Samba at 3pm.

As we approach the time where the teams will need to start rendering, we were visited by several people from the Computer Animation Festival – thanks Carlye!
