Computer graphics in commercial and broadcast production (Panel)

Abstract

The goal of this panel is to acquaint the listener with what is perhaps the most visible area of computer graphics - the use of animation in television and motion pictures Creating animation for commercial use is subject to many factors outside of the animator's control. Pieces are constrained by deadlines and budgets and yet must be “ new, fresh and different” in order to satisfy the client. The speakers on the panel represent four of the leading computer animation production houses and are well acquainted with having to work with these constraints while still delivering work of the highest possible quality. In addition to showing some of their work, the participants will discuss methods for creating animation for commercial use.
