SIGGRAPH Dailies is a show celebrating excellence in computer graphics, showcasing images and short animations of extraordinary power and beauty. It is a fast-paced event where each presenter has less than two minutes to show an animation and describe their work.

There is an immense variety of stunning imagery showcased at Dailies. Hearing the artist tell the story behind their work is what makes Dailies extra special. Attendees may hear an entertaining tale about a tight deadline, or a thought provoking discussion about a clever technique used to make incredibly complex imagery.

"Dailies is a whole evening of 'behind the scenes' stories. Not only do you see outstanding imagery, but you also hear the stories from the artists who did the work: the challenges, clever tricks, or even how they were personally affected by the work," said Mark Elendt, SIGGRAPH 2013 Dailies Chair from Side Effects Software Inc. "With 45 different stories, it makes for a very fast-paced and exciting evening. There really is no other place where you can experience this kind of event."

Seating for the live show is limited and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. View the Dailies Video Preview for examples of achievements in computer graphics to be showcased at SIGGRAPH 2013.
