My thoughts on something

well, unfortunatelly I didn’t have a chance to see the ant bully though, as you guys might know it didn’t do a good job at the big box office its first weekend. Since I haven’t see it I won’t say anything about the film, but I have some friends who worked on it and know there were so many talented animators working on it…it’s very sad that the film didn’t do a good job and DNA production that created the film let almost all people go…

Those who worked on the film had or have to get new jobs. They are experienced animators but I heard some animators are still looking for jobs…I bet some studios are trying to hire animators at Siggraph now but the job market isn’t very hot.

Monster House from Imageworks came out last week and Barnyard from Omation is coming out this week. I have friends who worked on those films so I really hope they will do good jobs. However, releasing an animated film three weeks in a row would hurt themselves…don’t you think?

I think Siggraph 2006 is coming this weekend in Boston. Unfortunately, I won’t go. I haven’t checked any sketches or courses though, I’m pretty sure there will be very interesting lectures or classes about making of VFX or Animation stuff, like Pirates of Caribbean, Cars, or Over the Hedge.

If you are going to Siggraph, have fun seeing cool things, hanging out and talking to people. It would be cool if any of you who goes to Siggraph could tell us what’s up there in Boston.

I’m assuming that Siggraph 2007 would be in LA, if not it would be anywhere in west coast at least.

I created new blog here and stopped old blog in blogger. I just started my new job as an animator at DreamWorks Animation.

I’ll try to write something here as much as I could, so please check back.
