Day 13

Today we woke up at 6plus to go to SESI. Gosh. Today we are suppose to attend the VES(Visual Effects Society) conference in Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood. Ms Aliza and Mr Ari will send us there. We met them at SESI around 7.45am. We then made out wait to their cars and they drove us there. We arrived at around 8.45am. Ms Aliza parked her car inside the car park near a mall. We then made our way to the location.

The place was nice. Very grand. We then went into the ballroom which held the conference for Side Effects. We also grabbed breakfast at the back of the ballroom. Hotel style food. Soon after, they started opening up for the conference. There were a fair amount of companies at the event. As it was more of a recruitment event, there were many people there, handling out their resumes and showing their reels on their ipads. I approached many studios asking just for more general info. And I would say, The smaller studios aren't really geared up for Houdini in their studios. But I heard from some of my friends which approached the more popular studios, that they had houdini built into their production pipeline, but maybe not at a large scale.

Anyways, the most popular booths with many people queued up for were, Disney Animation, Sony Pictures, Digital Domain, MPC and etc.

After walking around, we decided to head out to Hollywood and try to take a picture of the Hollywood logo ontop of the hill. After many tries and quite long walking distance under the hot sun, we managed to get a clear view of it at the shopping mall next to the hotel. We took pictures and walked around the shopping mall. The shopping mall was much bigger than NordStrom though. After we had lunch we headed out to walk the Hollywood Walk of fame. We was practically staring at the stars on the pavement and not looking at any shops. We saw a fair amount of famous celebrities. After that we headed back to the hotel and helped the guys move the stuffs down to the loading bay. We then helped to load the stuffs(Computers, CPUs, cables) onto Ms Aliza's car and then Mr Ari drove us back to SESI.

We then went for dinner at Nordstrom( as usual...) We went home after that.

Now...
