Esta fue la presentacion con la cantidad mas alta de personas. Mi trabajo como estudiante voluntario era contar personas en la puerta, pero se lleno tan rapido que fue imposible contar! Para mi esta parte fue una de las mas interesantes porque introducía a todos los presentadores y sus temas. Esta presentacíon sirve como una corta introducíon a la conferencia, y para alguien como yo atendiendo por primera vez Siggraph, esta sirvio como un tour en que esperar de la semana.

Latinos en Siggraph!
Hasta ahora no he podido sentarme a escribir. Siggraph es divertido pero mucho, mucho trabajo!
Pero estoy muy contenta de haberme encontrado con un buen grupo de Latinos. Los paises representandonos son: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Venezuela y tambien nuesros hermanos Españoles. En el International Resources Center es donde todas los participantes des diferentes paises se encuetran para pedir informacion y crear contacto con otros en la industria; los Latinos este año van a crear una database para que finalmente este creciente grupo tenga acceso a projectos e ideas de otros en la industria Latina.

This is the first time in three day I have to seat an write! Siggraph is a lot of fun but a lot of work and I was not expecting to be so demanding. One of the great things I have learned so far is that there are many Latinos representing from countries like: Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Venezuela and also our Spanish speaking brothers from Spain. The International Resources Center serves as a great place for Latinos to network and to learn about the present and future of the industry in Latin America.

Registration! Dia Uno
Hasta ahora todo va bien. Posters y letreros Siggraph nos recivieron desde el aereopuerto, nada de perderse o perder tiempo todo muy organizado. En estos momentos me encuentro esperando por la orientacion de studiantes voluntarios SV a las 4pm. Para ser honesta me estoy sintiendo un poco cansada con tanta informacion o sera por que no he dormido en 48 horas!
Pero lo unico que hasta ahora me desencanto ha sido toda la limitaciones para camaras y tambien la manera que han creado el mapa de eventos!
Muy confuso!
Ver la ciudad de New Orleans por primera vez despues de Katrina es una experiecia extraña. La ciudad es preciosa y con su musica y decor es el personaje principal de este evento! Pero queda mucho que reconstruir, se siente que auque la ciudad y su gente dan su mejor cara el recuerdo y dolor sigue presente. Las superficie de las calles estan demolidas y quedan muchas propiedades que necesitan arreglo. Pero que bueno que un grupo como Siggraph decidio hacer la conferencia aqui trayendo el dinero que esta ciudad tanto necesita.
ENGLISH
Everything is going great until now. There are posters and signs all over the airport and on the streets greeting us and directing us to where the convention is taking place. Everything is very organize, no getting lost and no wasting time!
Currently I find myself waiting for the student volunteer "SV" orientation at 4pm but to be honest I am a little overwhelmed because I haven't slept in 48 hours and the map is very confusing.
Seeing New Orleans for the first time after Katrina is somewhat extrange. The city is beautiful, with its music ans decor is the main attraction on this event! But there is still a lot that needs to be done and while speaking to the locals you can tell that things are not as good as you see it in the turist areas. Thank you Siggraph for deciding to bring the conference to this amazing city to help its ecconomy.
Scavenger Hunt -SCVNGR
Estoy my contenta de saber que SCVNGR es parte de la divercion en Siggraph. Para aquellos que no saben lo que un scavenger hunt, es como encontrar un tesoro escondido. Una lista de pistas seran mandadas via text y el que tenga la mejor puntuacion gana! SCVNGR es una compañia en Boston, su dueño Seth Priebatsches es un joven de 21 años que comenzo la compañia hace poco. La idea es espectacular, simple pero effectiva. MITX en los Tech-Awars le otorgo el PricewaterhouseCoopers Promise Award, por mejor nuevo juego interactivo con finales de mercadeo.

I'm happy to learn that SCVNGR is part of the 2009 Siggraph. For those who don't know what SCVNGR is, is a Boston company that has created the high tech scavenger hunt. This company sends clues through text to explore physical places, the person or teams with the highest score wins! The company was created by Seth Priebatsches, a 21-year-ols from Boston who came up with this idea when he was attending Princeton University. Companies today use it as marketing tool, making SCVNGR one exiting and successful company. I had the chance to interview Seth at the MITX Technology Awards, where SCVNGR won PricewaterhouseCoopers Promise Award. I think that what makes this company successful is not only its innovative concept but its creator. Seth is one cool guy, very outgoing and energetic, he is very excited about his company and his excitement is contagious.

Learn About me
As a person and an artist I am full of contradictions, the things that I enjoy and the things I am passionate about are worlds apart but meet every time in my work. I am completely in love with pop culture but at the same time I am passionate about information, history and tradition, which can sometime create interesting pieces. Because of my journalism background I tend to always create things with a purpose and a clear message. I believe that important subjects can effectively be assimilated by the masses if it is in video form. Some of my pieces are documentaries of very serious subjects like “Flight 587” about an airplane crash and “After College Drama” about the job crisis affecting new grads; both clear expressions of who I am.
I am most definitely a product of the MTV and the Disney generation and proud of it. A genre that influences me the most is Japanese Anime, which always surprises people but then again I am a contradiction. My favorite stories are by Hayao Miyazaki because of the fascinating characters and their massage, there is always an incredible life lesson embedded in his stories: “My Neighbor Totoro” and Anime WWII Hiroshima-Nagasaki Documentary "Grave of the Fireflies" are two of my favorites. My fascination with all things fantasy stared when I was 6-years-old with the movie Labyrinth, I was scared of the monster but could not take my eyes away from them.
My nanny was the television. I learned all great lessons from my fictional friends, I watched TV from the time I got home from school to the time I went to bed, with no restrictions. The Hollywood Technicolor era is another influence of mine I find that time incredibly romantic and happy, the music, the colors, the language is something a enjoy and only wish it came back. Color, color, color is something I love and as a child I wished to have the power to make everything around me more colorful; I feel that now I have the power to do so with all the great technology that lets us manipulate images but at the same time I am very careful of using this power because of my passion.
I am passionate about social problems and politics and to me the most artistic expression of these are Spanish movies from the 30’s through 70’s. These movies speak to the journalist in me, they are from a time of oppression and censorship and I am incredibly grateful for them; they were effective in every way, entertaining and educating while changing the world and freeing minds. Having no one to monitor me as a child I came upon the movie “Empire of the Sun” and documentaries from the Holocaust, these increased the need for me to read and learn about anything historic and even at 8-years-old I wanted to be informed and see the gruesome pictures of the events of the past and the present.
My Goal is to create entertaining moving images that will educate in a fast and concise way, that will include my passion in content and what I enjoy in visuals.
