Brad Kolacinski, Director of Marketing Operations – the Americas for Antics Technologies Inc., studied film theory, criticism and history at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Brad’s job with Antics started as the product demonstrator and has since used Antics to work on pre-viz projects with such A-list film talent as Peter Berg, Jim Rygiel, Jim Bissell and Dean Devlin to name a few. Brad has also traveled the world presenting Antics at IBC Amsterdam, Boards Summit in New York, SIGGRAPH Los Angeles, NAB Las Vegas among many other trips to Skywalker Ranch, ILM, Sony Imageworks and every major studio in Hollywood. Brad’s most current endeavors include working with local Computer Clubhouses such as the Tiger Woods Learning Center, where Brad is tutoring K-12 students on using Antics for producing 3D animated movies.

Brad would moderate a panel of indie filmmakers who are employing the use of 3D animation to further themselves as filmmakers and to help sell their own film projects. Stefan Avalos, http://www.stefanavalos.com/diamondchasers.htm, would join the panel as would VW Scheich among others, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TtCQoUx-DQ

I've reviewed Antics and have attended many presentations Brad has made of Antics technology. He is an excellent speaker and a passionate advocate of the art of filmmaking, especially in animation. He is articulate and focused, yet has a nice sense of humor that will keep people chuckling while they are thinking. He is also knowledgeable of other software programs that are used for virtual filmmaking. And since Pre-Viz is fast becoming a standard element of Hollywood workflow, this panel would be highly relevant.

I hope you will pick this panel for the Conference. I think you will be very pleased with the result as I think enormous interest will be generated in the topic.
