Single-authored SIGGRAPH submission from a recent collaborator whom I have yet to meet in person

I like the work and hope it will get accepted so that we could finally meet in person at the conference.
(Hopefully the Canadian visa would be easier to obtain than the US equivalence, as otherwise he would not have any co-author to present the paper.)
