COMPUTER ANIMATION FESTIVAL SIGGRAPH 2010 SIGGRAPH2010 SIGGRAPH 2010 Computer Animation Festival program is made possible by Computer Graphics World magazine, a longtime SIGGRAPH media partner. Produced by COP Communications and KYX. Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. FOREWORD Welcome to the SIGGRAPH 2010 Computer Animation Festival (CAF), the international event that continues to be the premier place where creativity and innovation meet technology and industry. We are proud to present a unique mix of independent creations and works by prominent production houses and studios, a mix of personal visions, and mainstream computer animations and visual effects. Our distinguished jury went through hundreds of entries and assembled a selection of works with the highest value of originality, craft, storytelling, experimentation, and/or technology. We have brought back the Electronic Theater, the tribal SIGGRAPH experience with CGW AD an identical program three nights in a row, and we have included most of the Jury Selections in it. We have also assembled a few Special Screenings that we know you will enjoy: you will enjoy: TV Commercials and Cinematics, Shorts and Long INSIDE FRONT COVER Shorts, Student Animation, and a Special Focus on Chinese Student Animation. This year the festival jury voted on submissions strictly within categories, and that proved to be a good system to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. We formalized ten festival submission categories: Computer Animation Shorts, Music Videos, TV and Web Commercials, Visualizations and Simulations, Student Projects, Animated Feature Films, Visual Effects for Short Films and TV Programs, Visual Effects for Live-Action Feature Films, Real-Time Animation, and Miscellaneous. For the first time in SIGGRAPH history, we took technology a step further by having all projects uploaded online in final resolution at submission time, with many works in high-definition digital format. No tapes, no hard disks, just good old Internet. We hope you are able to attend the impressive collection of cutting-edge and visionary Production Sessions, the new Animation Clinic, and the Live Real-Time Demos that complement the festival screenings. Enjoy the show!
