I read with great sadness that visual effects legend Stan Winston just passed away at the far too young age of 62. If you can name an amazing moment in visual effects in the movies, chances are he was either involved, did it before, or did something that showed it …
By the way, if your plans have changed and you can’t attend FUDCon, please take a moment to strike out your name on the attendee list. Don’t bother removing your name, since it’s also helpful for us to know who missed out this time around. Just use <s> and </s> …
Although we did our best to get enough power drops for the FUDCon conference space, it would be great if people would bring some power strips. We don’t want to create a daisy chain o’ doom, but with the power drops being those big industrial quad boxes, we’ll need to …
