The Hollywood Marketplace
2019 promises to be the most disruptive and transformative year in Hollywood history. From game-changing mergers and acquisitions to new streaming services and content platforms, business models are now mandating new monetization strategies for a changing media and entertainment landscape. In the race to stay relevant, these trends are accelerating adoption of more powerful new technologies and cutting-edge production methods.
Leveraging New Technologies
Directors, producers, studios, advertising brands and creative teams throughout the content pipeline are producing nextgen content leveraging real-time rendering, creating in the cloud, 5G, UHD, virtual production, machine learning, and A.I., AR, VR, game engine, asset security, blockchain, and mixed reality applications to make better content more efficiently and cost-effectively. All this while protecting the creative intent of our community’s collective creative genius.
Your Destiny in this new Marketplace
