Ask for VFX.

A little entry this Tuesday.. Yesterday at Digital Domain we had an influx of artists, I think around 10-15, some rehires, some new, all on our upcoming shows. If I recall correctly, none were in comp. It seemed most were on the 3D realm of things. There'll be another bunch of artists coming in next Monday as well, but I don't know how many, or on which shows. As many of you may know from visiting Siggraph, Digital Domain is hiring a bunch of people for our upcoming shows. It's going to be a busy winter/spring!

I'm just finishing up some Golden Compass work. We're getting close to our deadline, within a month to go! The film comes out in December if I've been told correctly. The release date is also on the poster too, so we've got a hard deadline for sure. I don't know if it's going to be like Pirates, where the final shots were finalled close to three weeks to the release date!

I was introduced to another search engine.. Remember all the ones before? Lycos, Altavista, Yahoo, and of course, Google. I was shown ask.com, which I think has been around for a little while. Anyway, I asked for vfx in the blog section, and this blog comes up as number two in the top Feeds! How cool is that. I also asked about vfx in google, and guess what's number one? VFXTalk! Awesome. VFXHQ is second, and it's been dead for a while, but it has some good making-ofs from a long time ago. VFXPro is third, it used to be the standard where all the pros went to search for jobs. I think most of us still do. We're hoping to change that, of course. If you do a search for vfx blog in Google, you'll get the great vfxblog.com site, and then this one comes a close second. Pretty neat. I'm number two for vfx blogs searches, and we're number one for vfx on Google (number three on Ask)!
