The drinking and all of that stuff was just like Semi-permanent in sydney last year, and the media temple guys were in it with us. (I love them) One of the programmers used to be in the band "The Ataris" before they got big. no joke. Oh and by the way, I bet media temple would sponcer it again.

I got in before bubblefish which was cool, but I don't know about the cheesy political "corporate logo" motion piece going on behind her. The pixel effects matched her stuff, but the logos like, McDonalds, BMW, MTV etc. did not. The award show went pretty good but did have its awkward moments. For example Shilo having to sit down, then get up walk all the way around to stage, accept the award, with no speech then do the same thing like 4 more times. Hearing a thank you or speech from the winners would have been cool. Also if more of the winners would have been there. I did leave happy, and the event happening in Savannah really turned me on to that city. Good job.

It was an all day commitment that kept you going from morning to night. The presenters were all (well most) great, but given their work it was almost a given. What was truly amazing for me, was a chance to see all of the industry people come in and really get excited about this stuff. The energy was really going, and although people in motion graphics try to hide their nerdiness, it was all out last Friday. Events like this take place all the time in the world of film, so although I am sure you would have liked to improve on things, I really feel this was a great step towards either a continuation of this event, or the spawning of a new one in the near future. I'm kind of curious of MediaTemple would ever dream of sponsoring a group like us to drink again though.... Also PMcD's demo reel isn't as horrid as the presenter would have you believe. He was a bit of a flop, but it makes for good comparison. This event, truly was an event. It was an all day commitment that kept you going from morning to night.

We learned a lot, took notes, and talked about it for days afterwards (alway a good sign). I also enjoyed the reoccurring thought of work and it's relation to life outside of the office. I also agree that the Matthew Barney film, although interesting, seemed forced and very out of place for the conference. Excellent event and I hope it's annual!

I'd love to see them (free or for a small charge)! I wasn’t able to make it either, but I’d like to echo the comment of putting some of the presentations online.

Being a first time event here, I felt that it went down like a warm fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies and a nice cold glass of milk (In other words, pretty damn good). I have to agree about spreading the jam over two days of bread, would have been a little easier on the grey matter. On a serious note, I would be surprised if it could have gone any better, kudos to everyone. As a newbie to scad and the bcst program, I must say I had a blast @ Inspire 07.

With my interest lying in archtitecture I probably learned a lot more than most people there. Psyop's work is wonderfully morphological. Exopolis was boring, a one liner, making the streaks is proprietary, garbage. Trollback is an old dj, making what he hears, damn good. Small annoyance though, the inspire 07 animation that was on screen between speakers should loop correctly so the transition end to beginning is seemless. The audio that accompanied the animation was spot on, it set the perfect atmosphere. All in all, fantabulous. Everything was great.
