Computer graphics research and technology have made immense progress in the last few decades. At the same time, industries have developed to incorporate these results into the production of breathtaking digital imagery. The quality of today’s digital effects in live action movies, computer animated movies and video games has reached a new level of realism and expressiveness. This is the result not only of more powerful algorithms and computers, but of other crucial ingredients such as specialized pipelines, production workflows, interdisciplinary collaborations, and skilled artists working long hours.

Digital Production Symposium 2012 (DigiPro 2012) encourages the sharing of algorithms, procedures and insights for the production of top quality visual effects and computer animation. The goals are to bring together scientists, engineers, artists and producers, and to close the gap between research results and industry needs.

DigiPro2012 will take place in Dreamworks Animation SKG, Los Angeles, on 4th Aug. 2012. This exciting event is co-located with SIGGRAPH 2012 and sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH.

Artists, scientists, engineers and producers involved in digital production are very welcome to attend and submit their work to this symposium!
