Custom Software Development in Post-Production
Wednesday, 1:45 - 3:30 pm
Petree Hall C

Most post-production and digital effects work employs custom software to varying degrees. This software may be necessary for high-end work, and it produces stunning results, but from the perspective of digital artists and other users it is often fragile and difficult to use.

This panel discusses in broad terms what is wrong with our custom software, why it is this way, and how it can be improved. Also a major topic: whether open-source software can be utilized to improve the situation.
