Siggraph Dailies 

SIGGRAPH Dailies! is a presentation format. You will need to get on stage and talk about your work. We've created two examples, one from FX and one for cloth tailoring/simulation. These are mockups of what SIGGRAPH Dailies! will look like. The actual submission is the material playing in the background, and the text of your comments. (In other words, don't film yourself giving the talk.)
