Did anyone else get a chance to go to LA this year for the show? I was there. What did everyone think? Asside from the fact that no one I know in the Boston area has received the commercial release of 4.0 yet for the PC (thought they promised Aug 14 at the show) and the Wavey awards (only heard of 3 weeks prior to the show) were extremely weak and had the same animations in many categories? Last year was better I thought. Orlando. Next year is New Orleans. Should be fun. One thing is for sure, get some material ready for next years Waveys. If you don't think your stuff was good enough to send in, think again. After that show I was kicking myself for not contributing Something!

Hi, Re;"the Wavey awards (only heard of 3 weeks prior to the show) were extremely weak and had the same animations in many categories? Last year was better I thought. Orlando.

After that show I was kicking myself for not contributing Something!" 1) Sorry about the late notice on the contest, we plan on a call for submissions early next year for 1996. 2) There were only one or two submissions that qulaified and were submitted in more than one cat. 3) While the amount of entries was only about 200 the quality was very high and the ideas were cool. The professional animators I spoke with thought the quality was high. Check out the Nov. VTU for the story. 4) We look forward to your entry next year and we plan on making it bigger and better than ever! All The Best, Tom Patrick Video Toaster User Magazine
