Yesturday I attended the BAFTA conference on the convergence between Film/TV and Games. There were some very interesting speaks, mostly about animation in film/tv, with comparisons to pre-rendered footage in games.

As part of the London Games Festival, this was my first invite-only conference. So I was very excited to see the contrast between this and other conferences I’ve been to lately.

The BAFTA HQ is very swanky. The free lunch wasn’t bad either
The conference was very small. Theres a bar/restaurant for people to hang in, between talks in the theatre. There were round-table discussions at the end of the presentations, which was nice.
I feel I saw a brief insight into the film/tv/gaming industry, and made a couple of useful contacts.
