MovieLabs: AI and IA in Film Production
Raymond Drewry, Principal Scientist, MovieLabs
The MovieLabs 2030 Vision presents a re-think of how films are produced, based on a foundation of connected infrastructures that establish a collaborative workspace, zero-trust security, and softwaredefined workflows, using Intelligent Automation. Its goals are to give the creative community more time, more choice, better access to emerging technology, and faster iterations and turnaround in every step of the creative process. MovieLabs is a non-profit research and development joint venture founded by the major Hollywood studios, including Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures, Universal City Studios, Walt Disney Pictures, and Warner Bros. Entertainment
