Upcoming VFX and animation events – a super-quick guide

September 3, 2020

There’s A LOT to watch from home.

I just had a big week of checking out numerous SIGGRAPH 2020 presentations, and even hosting a few. And when I look ahead, it’s amazing to see how many online VFX and animation-related events are coming.
