VES releases white-paper on VFX

The Visual Effects Society (VES) has published its first ever white paper, entitled "The State of Visual Effects in the Entertainment Industry."
The paper, drawn from inputs from numerous sources including a VES think-tank discussion, the VES Executive Committee and others, examines existing conditions within the VFX industry and how these issues affect the entertainment business on a macro scale, from workflow to the interaction of personnel within various departments. The white-paper also assesses the extraordinary impact that the digital revolution has caused.
"The VES is the foremost knowledge-base in the world concerning VFX and we feel that we have a unique perspective as to how the work of visual artists and technologists intersect to have a huge impact on the business model bottom line," said VES Executive Director Eric Roth. "We are very excited to publish this first paper, which will serve as a foundation for future white papers delving into significant issues which face not only our craft, but the entertainment industry as a whole," Roth added.
