You can watch the videos in the embedded playlist below. A direct link to the playlist is here.

It is said, it takes a village to make a movie. The same applies to getting a conference together. Day 1 of the DigiPro + The Pipeline Conference was a memorable one and the chairs, committee members, and volunteers are a happy bunch.
We have been slowly moving towards more and more people working remotely, but one of the legacies of COVID and lockdown was that it pushed us more rapidly into remote working which had for a long time thought to be impossible by studio heads, if we wanted to be able to protect their IP.
With the majority of workers working remotely, security has become a concern like never before. In this talk Spencer Stephens shares MovieLab’s research into cybersecurity, production technology and cloud workflows.
Deep learning requires the use of a huge amount of training data to develop and test a successful neural network model that generalizes well. Several public datasets are already available for different kinds of object recognition and autonomous cars, but none exist for aeronautic applications. We present a data-driven pipeline for the creation of synthetic imagery and the acquisition of real imagery and data for the development of autonomous flying vehicles.
When it comes to cloud services one has to beware of marketing hyperbole, and navigate the large array of services providers offer. We will focus on a few essential topics to try and flatten the learning curve for pipeline developers interested in getting started with the cloud.
This talk focuses on how Wizart Animation completely transformed their pipeline and moved their development towards USD, evolving their in-house USD editor and using its extensibility to make an animated feature.
Development workflow often succumbs to inefficiencies and neglect over the long-term, therefore many studios realize the value of DevOps, and this talk will take a look at some of the DevOps practices at a few studios and the ROI they provide.
A panel of women currently working in pipeline at major companies like, ILM, Disney Animation, and MPC, discuss what it means to be a woman working in pipeline.
As the first VFX heavy show to resume production after lockdown, Star Trek: Discovery was a milestone show. How did the VFX pipeline change, and what will become permanent are just some of the things this talk will examine.
