Rob Bredow(SVP, Chief Creative Officer at Industrial Light & Magic) and curator Nora Atkinson discuss the modern VFX workflow. The key argument is that the highest-quality results come from a synthesis of new tech (like AI and virtual production) and classic techniques, but only if the process is built around the artist ("protecting the human heartbeat").
This is a pragmatic look from a top-tier studio at how to integrate tech without losing the art. Less hype, more engineering and creative process.
