Insights on…

So many topics !

Through the presentations, The Yard VFX team brought back with them a lot of strategic insights – from a business perspective, an artistic approach or from the technology choices to make creative ideas a reality on screen.

It was particularly interesting to be shared feedback on the latest use cases of artificial intelligence, deep learning, realtime production and to be exposed to the creative process behind a large panel of award-winning and industry-acclaimed projects, from Avatar to Lightyear, and so much more.

Our team has paid a particular attention to the insights shared about USD in Solaris with a part of the industry adopting this solution.

Trends

Whether from an artistry or a technology standpoint, FMX 2023 is a great place to discover trendy topics and to get to know more about the state of the industry, and how it is globally evolving to become more inclusive and diverse, and how it can become more environmentally conscious.

Studies are underway or will soon be launched to measure the environmental impacts of VFX and we are looking forward to acting upon the outcomes. In the meantime, at The Yard VFX, we are already taking measures to lessen our carbon footprint – starting with traveling by train to Stuttgart 😉
