Slow motion cinematography is the result of playing back frames for a longer duration than they were exposed. For example, if you expose 240 frames of film in one second, then play them back at 24 fps, the resulting movie is 10 times longer (slower) than the original filmed event….

A VFX pipeline belongs to one of three classes:

• production (task) primary
• material (data) secondary
• approval (meta-data) tertiary

A VFX pipeline is comprised of four structural dimensions:

• leadership
• personnel
• tools
• methods

A VFX pipeline utilizes technology but is not the technology

A VFX pipeline divides a work-flow into separate and meaningful tasks assigned to two or more persons

A VFX pipeline tasks divisions are determined using a tree of specialization across the three dimensions

The VFX pipeline structural form is dictated by

• the functional mission,
• resources available and
• company culture

A VFX pipeline is malleable

The Production Pipeline, Webinar

As part of ongoing promotions for the book, The Digital Visual Effects Studio: The Artists and Their Work Revealed, Mayur hosted webinars on December 6 and 7, 2009. In the sessions, Mayur made the case for artist-centric pipelines, as opposed to data-centric pipelines and he shared some insight as to why production pipelines fail to be fast, light and powerful. We are pleased to make available a recording of one of the sessions, with a run-time of 56m30s.
