SUMMARY:Webinar - Introduction to VES On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Join the VES Technology Committee for an Introduction to the VES On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide \nClick here to RSVP\nTuesday\, May 12\, 2026 at 11:00AM (PDT)\, 1:00PM (CDT)\, 2:00PM (EDT)\, 7:00PM (BST)\, 8:00PM (CEST)\, 11:30PM (IST) and Wednesday\, May 13 at 3:00AM (JST)\, 4:00AM (AEST)\, 6:00AM (NZST) \nThe VES Technology Committee released their comprehensive guide for On-Set VFX Data\, detailing the data types and capture methods overseen by production-side VFX teams and how they can best be used across a project. Designed to establish a common language between on‑set VFX\, production\, VFX facilities\, and technology teams\, to enable clearer communication\, smoother handoffs\, and better-aligned expectations so that every participant understands what information exists and how it can support their work. \nIn addition to defining data sets\, the guide documents both current and emerging workflows\, and aims to inform stakeholders about potential data sources; highlighting how these choices impact production pipelines\, timelines\, and budgets\, while also laying the groundwork for future efforts. \nThe production-side VFX department is the primary custodian for the comprehensive management and tracking of on‑set data throughout a project’s lifecycle\, ensuring it remains accessible for present workflows and future reference. The guide encourages all teams to engage with and benefit from this shared knowledge\, strengthening collective outcomes and overall production efficiency. \nThe VES On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide was created for the VES Technology Committee by VES Award for Creative Excellence winning Visual Effects Supervisor Sheena Duggal\, with contributions from ES Technology Committee Co-Chair\, Open-Source Developer and former Disney Imagineer Sam Richards\, TV Academy Governor\, Virtual Production and Visual Effects Supervisor Jim Geduldick\, and Visual Effects Supervisor Jake Morrison with technical support from Academy Software Foundation Technology Advisory Council member Jean‑Francois Panisset.
