SIGGRAPH 2003

As usual, SIGGRAPH will be a big, sprawling conference with hundreds
of great presentations and works of art--including more video-based art
than ever before. The key is to plan ahead, so you don't miss something
important, like the world-premiere of EZTV's latest avante-garde DV
film, or ILM's workshop on styling characters, or Digital Domain's
presentation on the Michael Jordan Gatorade commercial.

This preview magazine can help you figure out your individual
must-see list. In particular, here are a few highlights. The Sketches
program is less formal than the Papers and covers dozens of fascinating
effects and works in progress. The Web Graphics program, now in its
second year, has some great presentations, in particular on Macromedia
Central and other rich internet applications that will help define
tomorrow's content creation. The Art Gallery is more video-oriented
than ever, with more than 20 video and animation pieces. And of course
there's always the Computer Animation Festival. Click through to read
how Sam Chen spent three years making the Best Animated Short.
