Tuesday, January 5, 2010

SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques) is the name of the annual conference on computer graphics convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization.

Working in the VFX industry, you have the luxury of passing thru many people's lives. As a freelancer, it is common for artists to jump from one studio to another and pretty quickly build a very large pool of familiar names, friends, and colleagues. But no matter how many names and faces you recognize down the hall, it is still a very difficult thing to accept when a familiar name comes across your screen and you find out that they are gone.

Working without a Net(work)

Almost 80% of jobs are never advertised according to Cornell University Career Services. This is called the hidden job market. How do people get these jobs? The secret is networking and we aren’t talking about how computers are connected. We are talking about how people are connected. Networking is defined in the dictionary as the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups or institutions. I want to point out the word “exchange” –that means that both sides give something to a network.

THESCRATCHPOST had the opportunity to catch up with Veronica Hernandez and ask a few questions about what it was like to be part of the crew on Henry Selick's recent film, Coraline. Not only has the web blogs been buzzing about the film, but the artists themselves have been overly excited to see their hard work finally be showcased to the public. We hope you enjoy the interview, and we are very thrilled to be part of the "inside" scoop for our readers! :)
