That is exactly why I believe it is a good idea. But again, we need text on it. So people will know by seeing it what is all about. People that are in the industry will immediatly know. People that don't by curiosity will google Softimage and then, they will know.
Now that we are talking seriously here and after all yesterday's passion. The social strategy campaign must containt the following in order to drive the media attention. That is what we need. 1. Web site/blog (open to ideas on the domain name. I will put the money for it.) 2. Video recording of ourselves to show our position after ADSK announcement next week. (Sorry but we need to be on Youtube this days, or if someone else has a better idea). 3. Signed petition to sell Softimage to other company that really cares about us, after ADKS announcement next week. Or something like that. (Done by the petition already there and the FB page) 4. Show what is the work that it has been made with Softimage. (Not only big films and features but our work as well) 5. Do video comparisons of the Softimage vs Maya workflow unbiased as the one you already watched. 6. Put the XSI icon in our profiles, Google, FB, Twitter, etc. (We are on it.) This is the deal guys if we want to drive true attention. Other isolated attempts will be vane. For this to happen and to make something happen we really need commitment. I am willing to dedicate to it, my time and money. I am ready to fight against all odds. Maybe nothing will happen, maybe it will. Things this days are different from the old days. And if we raise awarness at the right spot. You'll never know. But we will never know if we don't try. I am willing to go for it and not to just stand back.. And most important we need some other place to organize us rather than this list.. Maybe another dedicated list would be better. ------------------------------------------------------- Emilio Hernández VFX & 3D animation.
