In this panel from SXSW 2018, leading minds from the world’s top visual effects studios reveal how independent filmmaking can benefit from the digital magic of visual effects and, in some cases, even reduce costs. The panel will discuss empowering the democratization of visual effects, how using the latest in technology can bring imagination to life, how visual effects can mitigate on-set challenges, and how artists today can deliver ideas above and beyond what’s possible in reality.

Featuring Kevin Baillie (Atomic Fiction), Bernie Kimbacher (Image Engine), Betsy Paterson, and Shawn Walsh (Image Engine).
