The terms “Asset”, “Digital Asset”, and “Asset Management” are in common and regular usage in visual effects and animation facilities all over the world, but what exactly are Digital Assets and how and why do you need to manage them?  In this session, we will offer a definition for these terms and describe how to add value and increase production efficiency by creating, tracking and exploiting useful and meaningful relationships between Digital Assets.  Finally, we will discuss Asset Management strategy and how good Digital Asset Management can help you increase studio productivity without compromising quality.

In this first session, we will get an idea of what problem OpenColorIO is designed to solve and we will see some of the solutions in action, like showing OpenColorIO handling color in different applications, e.g., Nuke for instance.

How one-man company SuperRune met the challenges of creating a Troll and two stunt-doubles for the Norwegian hit movie The Troll Hunter. Rune will go into detail and show how he managed to create a minimalistic creature pipeline in his home office, and how scripting knowledge and great plugins saved him time when creating complex animation and effects in 3DS Max.

This session will give you the initial understanding of and enough practical knowledge to actually start implementing OpenColorIO yourselves within your own pipelines. As well as showing you how to integrate the materials that the OpenColorIO project has online and available now to make your own color pipeline robust and reliable
