Just read through @bbratt’s Rotoscoping book in one sitting (& with the help of 3 venti lattes). Great read & I even picked up a thing or 2.

Who would have thought? Actually nice weather today in Hamburg. Perfect for weekend weather.

I’m at Starbucks (Neuer Jungfernstieg 5, Hamburg) t.co/lVdvUdC

If anyone is up for a latte, I’m going to the Starbucks on Jungfernstieg now.

Hello old friend. I’ve missed you. (@ Vito) [pic]: 4sq.com/oeCYyB

@ronbrinkmann thx. I was somehow remembering you in combination with that image that’s why I asked in the first place. I’ll keep looking.

I’m looking for a pic of that ridiculously small greenscreen of Cast Away’s 360° on top of the mountain. @ronbrinkmann any ideas? Or anyone?

@DorkmanScott how does black pepper smell? Did you have to sneeze or what?

@Beryll been there for the 1st time. They have some nice stuff indeed.

Back from “Planet of the Apes”. Great popcorn movie. Great CG apes (although not 100% in all shots).

Go see it!

I’m at Streits Filmtheater (Jungfernstieg 38, Hamburg) 4sq.com/rb9nhG

@mikeseymour @vfxblog wow! Congrats Ian. What a brilliant surprise.

Oh great. Google Profile spam. #spamsucks

@TheFoundryVFX cheers! Looking forward to that.

Best way to degrain film footage without access to Furnace or Neat Video and in Fusion? Tried few blur variants already (UV, average, etc.)

@TheFoundryVFX is there an eta for Nuke on Lion? Just curious. Also, how about Mari on OS X now that it meets the OGL requirements?

@Animator wird gemacht!

Just made my 1st Aeropress coffee/espresso & have to say I like it. Way better then the coffee served here at Animationsfabrik any day.

@frankjonen @twitter @delbius @BabylonDreams it’s the small things that make life fun.

@frankjonen @twitter @delbius ha! do you know what? I just gave it a try again and it worked @BabylonDreams had expired & I just grabbed it

@frankjonen @twitter @delbius I think I tried that once, but Twitter policy seems to be to not meddle with not in use Twitter handles.

@frankjonen yea, I wanted to get @BabylonDreams for the company account but it’s held by some woman that posts once a year. Kind of annoying

@DorkmanScott but not great either.

@mikeseymour @vfxblog @johnmontfx @NickLambert no idea. Saw it mentioned in the fxguide Siggraph preview article. cl.ly/99dF
