great python IDE
I`ve been using this for some time at work, but I wanted to post it here, since today I`ve just installed it at home too. I think this is the best IDE for python:
Eclipse with PyDev module. Code autocompletion and realtime error checking, I use the most. Both pieces of software are free.

Digital Domain dragon rig from Percy Jackson
-- Unfortunately this video was removed --
-- here is link to FX Guide article --
And this is another presentation from Siggraph 2010. Digital Domain explains how they rigged Hydra, a big multi-head dragon for a sequence in Percy Jackson. They go quite into details about making controls, swapping the heads, facial rigging, neck deformation and finish with explaining how they mapped high detail displacement flexing muscles on the sliding skin. Very interesting especially if your job is building character setups.
Mill NY presentation of a rollercoaster commercial
I was watching different presentations of studios` work from Siggraph`10 and I`d say the best was Mill NY showing how they did Barclay`s rollercoaster commercial.
A guy called Westley Sarokin presents wide range of techniques like photogrammetry, cg animation, digital takeover, compositing and live action shooting with spider-cam. Quite high profile production similar to complex film shots. Worth watching.
