Back from Boston

Posted on October 8th, 2007 in Software, CG Community by Marc Bourbonnais

I’m back from the Boston edition of the Avid “Make Your Mark Tour”, where I was a member of the panel on how to break into the digital media business. My fellow panelists were professionals from the world of music production, video editing and independent films. It was quite exciting to meet experts from industries I’m not familiar with.

A lot of the talk was centered on music and film production, but even with our very diverse backgrounds, our panel agreed that contacts and networking are crucial to get a good career going, as well as simply being a good person to work with. “Just don’t be a jerk” concluded Matt Dentler from the SxSW festival.

Todd Akita was hosting a session on the creative process at Psyop using Softimage XSI. It was great to see him outside the hectic pace of Siggraph! We spent the two days in Boston with our good friends from Softimage.

… and I love eating out with people who can enjoy sushi as much as I do, so that way we can go for a good ol’ boat of fish.

    Hey Marc,
    I do love sushi. A lot. And I happen to go on holidays to Boston this month. Can you recommend me a sushi place?? the one of the picture seems delicious. I know nothing of Boston, so a name of a good japanese restaurant would be great.

    All the best and congratulations for your first employee

    Actually it was a very good Korean BBQ restaurant; you can see the cover of the heating grill under the boat. It’s in Brookline, on Beacon Street just West of Harvard St.

    Hey Marc,
    I didn’t have the chance to see your reply before my trip. So I couldn’t taste the sushi from that place. But I must say that sushi in Boston is awesome. I loved it.

    thanks anyway, I’ll give that address to my friends over there.
    All the best
