SIGGRAPH 2012: Wrap-Up

After a few days, we're still reeling from the attention that was given to the IATSE booth on the SIGGRAPH 2012 exhibition floor. It was a great pleasure speaking to a wide variety of members from the visual effects community for the three days.

We fielded questions about the existence of the Visual Effects Union and how artists can help, the purpose of the union as well as how the union would fit into the visual effects industry.

I was informed that the IATSE has already secured its place on the 2013 SIGGRAPH exhibition floor in Anaheim. I'm looking forward to continuing TAG's support of the IATSE's initiative next year.

Snapshots captured this year after the break.

Always a crowd around the Pixar booth.



Scanline, who told us the VFX Union would be too costly for them, was the only studio to have "booth babes".

Large crowds around the Lightwave booth all three days.
