Thanks Rob and Daniel for the excellent presentation on Surf’s Up at the Student Volunteers Meeting. I really enjoyed seeing you guys speak about your effects work. What a great film that was. I’ve seen it twice and can’t wait for the DVD. SPA has it going on. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will put you guys on the map. Oh Yes, I predict it.

Thanks for taking the time to spend a little on-camera time with fxguide.com at Siggraph. We’ll be cutting together a short segment for our coverage from Siggraph…and then use more of the interview on our normal fxguidetv.

It’s really great you guys share things — this concept is one of the reasons Mike, Jeff, and I started fxguide.com.

Thanks Rob and Daniel for the killer presentation and especially for sharing all this info openly to the community.

Let’s hope you just started a new trend for such productions!

I was inspired by this course to integrate some of the concepts in our characters at work. The “Sum of 10 Blinks” and “Eyeball Follow” features are now standard parts of all our rigs! If you’d like to see my take on it, check out the tutorial I wrote at http://studentpages.scad.edu/~jdoubl20/JTDsmartBlinks.html
Thanks for the great ideas!
