SIGGRAPH 2006 Announces Computer Animation Festival Schedule

The Computer Animation Festival jury for SIGGRAPH 2006 selected 97 films and two award winners from 726 entries for exemplary use of computer-generated imagery and animation and compelling storytelling.

The SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival is an internationally recognized event that engages and inspires artists and technologists alike. Each year, it serves as a mirror of what is possible today and a window into what can be achieved in the future.

"Word is out that the Computer Animation Festival is one of the premier venues for showcasing artistic talent in the film world. In fact, we witnessed a remarkable 25% increase in submissions from 2005 to 2006, and with that increase the competition amongst films is fierce," stated Terrence Masson, the SIGGRAPH 2006 Computer Animation Festival chair from Digital Fauxtography Inc. "The bar of excellence has risen even higher and this year's crop of accepted pieces is diverse, thought-provoking, and technically superb."

SIGGRAPH 2006 will be held in Boston, Massachusetts, July 30-Aug. 3.

Morphing the message

Persuade, change, influence is the theme for the Psyop Anthem short animation. Although the visual approach may seem innofensive enough, the intent of the message is direct. Requiring attention, since so true, eye candy can indeed disract. Watch it and see for yourself. Excellent storyboard and technical skills displayed.
