SUMMARY:Event - Budgeting for VFX During Prep Presented by VES & PGA (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Budgeting for VFX During Prep Presented by the Producers Guild of America & Visual Effects Society \nThursday\, March 26\, 2026 at 11:00AM (PDT) (VES members must login to RSVP below) \nEarly decisions about VFX are not often approached with the same structure as other departments\, leading to misalignment that can have a major impact on both budget and schedule later in the process. This conversation aims to bridge the gap between production and post by breaking down how communication and workflow between production and VFX teams can be better aligned during prep. \nPanelists will include Producer\, Filmmaker and Senior Visual Effects Executive Arnon Manor; SONG SUNG BLUE Executive Producer Erika Hampson; Visual Effects Producer Maricel Pagulayan; KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Executive Producer Shea Kammer\, moderated by Line Producer Sharon Lopez.
