It was excellent - there were talks from Ed Hooks, VFX artists from The Mill, MPC, ILM, Framestore and Zach Parrish was here all the way from Disney!
It was pretty cool to get to talk to a few of the companies - I really liked the sound of The Mill; Tom, the recruiter made it seem awesome! They do a lot of adverts and I like the idea of doing shorter kinds of projects like that I think it might be challenging!
And I got on really well with the girl, Millie, from MPC she was hilarious!
I tried to discuss my honours project idea with many of them but a lot of them have worked as artists mostly on the post production side of things so didn't have much to comment on the things from the pre-production side, although Millie did put me on to her friend Simon who at least got what I was trying to say. I get the feeling though from much of what they say that it's a kind of an amorphous process so in some cases there is flexibility for input and in others not.
The talks on things like Groot were completely mindblowing and it was fun getting a bit of insight into Disney's processes from Zach!
Great experience to get to the festival!
Also Song of the Year now btw =P
