I have been very busy with work over the last couple of months. I was privileged enough to spend close to two months in San Francisco at Industrial Light & Magic, where I got to work on and wrap up an interesting and fun film. My experience at the ILM main office was awesome and deserves a separate blog post on it, which I will put up soon.
Now that am back at ILM Singapore, I have a couple of interesting updates. I will be giving a talk on ILM's work on the IronMan films at the Singapore Games and Comic Convention, which is un-officially know as Comic Con Asia, on the 11th Dec.
AND
I will also be giving a Nuke tech talk at SIGGRAPH Asia in Seoul on the 15th Dec with The Foundry at their Nuke Geek Talk session.
