Day 13 -- 25/6/2011 Saturday

We had to reach SESI at 7:30am. We are invited to tag along to the VES(Visual Effects Society) conference in Renaissance Hotel at Hollywood. We are kind of late and met them at around 7.45am(not very nice). Aliza drove us there. We arrived at about 8+.


Think Suntec City Convention Hall's ballrooms and you will get the rough impression of where VES will be held. We went into a ballroom designated for Side Effects, there, we settled down and helped them for the preparation. We had breakfast around the corner. The event began not long after. Rows of booth each occupied by different media-industry companies. Some are the popular ones e.g Digital Domain, MPC, SonyPictures, Legacy Effects and Disney Animation while some are not so. It was like a career fair, many people were handling out their resumes and showing their reels. I collected a bunch of brochures. 












After walking around, we decided to explore the Hollywood scene. We took pictures, walked around, went in few shops. After we had lunch, we headed out to walk the Hollywood Walk of fame. We was practically staring at the stars on the pavement saw quite an amount of famous celebrities. We headed back to the hotel and helped Aliza and the rest moved the equipment down to the loading bay. We helped to load the equipment used in the event up into car and Ari drove us back to SESI. We then went for dinner at Nordstrom before heading home.
