| The 34th Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics ACM SIGGRAPH announced the Computer Animation Festival's Best of Show Award, Jury Honors, and Award of Excellence winners for SIGGRAPH 2007, the 34th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, being held 5-9 August 2007 in San Diego, California. The Computer Animation Festival jury selected three award winners from a record-breaking 905 entries for exemplary use of computer-generated imagery, animation, and storytelling. For the first time in the history of SIGGRAPH, two of the award-winning films are student entries. In all, 134 pieces were selected for the Computer Animation Festival. Groundbreaking films presented at the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival have amazed audiences for three decades. Since 1999, the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival has also been an official qualifying festival for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences "Best Animated Short Film" award. Paul Debevec is the SIGGRAPH 2007 Computer Animation Festival Chair from the University of Southern California Centers for Creative Technologies. According to Debevec, 2007 marks the first time that filmmakers were able to submit high-definition video to the selection jury, which greatly increased the jury's ability to appreciate the intricacy of each film - especially the award winners. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
