eventually on the way that post, particularly vfx, works. Many though are involved in the
refreshes, software upgrades, more systems
process already. Absolute says: “we are planning our first VP project for next year” and Axis says VP is having an affect “right now. With TV and film productions embracing the many aspects of Virtual Production, it has allowed us to use our established expertise in realtime technology and techniques. Virtual production and realtime technology have picked up massive momentum in the last 18 months, becoming more advanced and more accessible than ever.” The Mill reckons “We are
expecting growth over the coming years, where we could see some more set and prop builds move from practical to virtual. With this structure, we see it more as simply moving things around in the production schedule; rather than adding CGI elements in post, it moves to pre-production.”
COMPUTER SAYS MAYBE The use of artificial intelligence applications in post is another area that offers future efficiencies. Clear Cut says AI is not having an
impact on the “mainstream creative post services but it is becoming a useful tool in the functional services that are needed.” Envy similarly thinks “AI Technology
could save time and optimise processes and tasks which could increase productivity and operational efficiencies.” Cinelab expects “to see AI providing image analysis for both new productions and archive to aid the post production process.” Evolutions sees a use for “accurate
auto-transcription, automated transcode paths, facial recognition software applications. All beneficial to production workflows and are lights off services driving revenue outside of our core facilities.” The Nest says: “we are already
using web-based AI for testing and QC, bring it on!” AI helps “offload slow and boring
tasks, making things faster as we are free to focus on creativity,” says The Finish Line. And that can only be a good thing.
