[1]Computer graphics professionals and students have an opportunity to network with world-renowned local and international film and television producers at a job fair [2] on Friday and Saturday. The job fair is part of Spark [FWD] 2014 [1], the premier annual visual effects and computer graphics (CG) event in Vancouver. Presented by the SPARK Computer Graphics Society [3] and sponsored by the B.C. government, SPARK [FWD] fosters innovation within the visual effects and CG community and helps attract talent and companies to British Columbia.
SPARK [FWD] 2014 features a conference and film festival and is expected to attract over 1,000 delegates, from students to international decision-makers, executives, and professionals in the CG sector. The job fair at the Vancouver International Film Centre will offer attendees one-on-one time with representatives from 13 companies, including:
- Industrial Light & Magic, the visual effects company started by George Lucas that has won dozens of Academy Awards
- Vancouver’s Nerd Corps Entertainment, one of Canada’s largest animation studios
- Digital Domain, which has delivered innovative visuals for movies such as Iron Man 3, the Transformers series, and Titanic
British Columbia is a key location for film and TV production in North America and a leading hub for digital animation and visual effects. In August, Vancouver will host SIGGRAPH 2014 [4], the annual CG conference attended by tens of thousands of computer professionals. Check the SIGGRAPH 2014 site for their current Calls For Submissions [5] list.
