Essential VFX links on Twitter
Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 07:38PM
Just a quick listing of who I find is invaluable to follow on Twitter for vfx news. Many vfx companies and supes have twitter accounts and will post job openings there. (@dneg , and @MPC_VFX for example). But there are a few that if you work in visual effects, you need to follow. I find twitter to be a better source of up-to-the-minute information than many of the dedicated sites that cover cg.
Who you should be following:
@Variety_DSCohen
David S. Cohen , writer for Vaiety and covers technology and visual effects. Lots of good info daily about the state of the business. Also good info that many other news outlets should be covering, but aren't.
@VFXSoldier
The mysterious VFX Soldier likes to stay anonymous, and that's ok. He (She?) covers the important vfx labor and union issues.
@VisualEffectsSo
Official Twitter feed of the VES (Visual Effects Society). It's not perfect, but it's the closest thing we have to a union or a voice.
@alba
Eric Alba is an independant vfx supe, and posts great links everyday that are related to cg, animation, and vfx. Not sure how he has time to prolifically tweet and supe.
@vfxblog
Ian Failes writes for fxguide.com (another site you should be reading daily).
oh yeah, and me: @MichaelLevineTD
