If you haven’t seen this already, I got nominated for an award at the siggraph 2009 computer animation festival, in the WTF (Well told fable) category.

Official press release

So I guess I’ll be going to New Orleans in August, or at least trying to.

I found this tip somewhere and thought I’d share this as the first in hopefully several posts of the “post a week ‘othon”.

To replace a layer in a composition with a new item from the project window select the layer to be replaced in the composition window. Press option and drag the item from the project window and drop it on top of the selected layer in the composition window. Simple.

This preserves everything you had done to the first layer. So this saves you the hassle from dropping in the new item, copying animation, effects and transforms.

I don’t know why I didn’t know before last week.

Yup, all the rumors are true, I’m a father now and by the way, it’s the best! This awesome boy was born Feb. 25th which makes him almost 10 weeks old. Man, time sure flies when you’re having fun (and animating for Framestore here in Iceland (a two week gig on Sherlock Holmes)).

I somehow forgot, but my short friends? was accepted to the Siggraph computer animation festival.

Too bad I can’t go to New Orleans, that would have been a blast.
