"There Can Be Only One" at SIGGRAPH Asia 2008


In December, Steve Rittler and Kristen Palana will once again teach their digital animation production course, "There Can Be Only One; Independent Animation Production for the Lonely", at the first ever SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Conference in Singapore. Back by popular demand (or at least interested suggestion), this will be the third and final incarnation of this successful tutorial course, presented at the San Diego and Los Angeles SIGGRAPH Conferences in 2003 and 2004. For more information on the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Conference, please visit http://www.siggraph.org/asia2008/ or return to this site. Updates will be posted as they arrive. Please say hi to Steve if you attend; as an independent animator, he sometimes, too, gets lonely.
