Working from Home in VFX

ACM SIGGRAPH: Fostering Inclusion Through Storytelling is a new initiative to foster inclusion by learning from the experiences of others. We will have regular online presentations year-round. Our first few presentations will address issues resulting from the worldwide pandemic. Our first event will stream live on 21 May at 2PM EDT/11AM PDT and be available for later viewing on the siggraph.org web site.

Our first event will be a panel covering issues faced by companies in the VFX industry adapting to employees working from home. Joining us are representatives from three major visual effects studios to share their experiences and discuss the challenges they faced when transitioning to our new reality.

The panel will be moderated by Troy Brooks, VP Technology, WildBrain Studios. Troy will be leading the discussion with the following panellists:

Michael Ford, VP of Systems Engineering and Software Development, Sony Pictures Imageworks
Luke Groves, Global Head of Production, MR. X
Christa Tazzeo Morson, VP Sales Post Production / VFX Executive Producer, Deluxe
