Through the looking glass - the next reality for content production
summary
Cloud production is framed as three concrete shifts: NetFX deployed in 4 continents across 35 productions proves global pipelines and hiring talent anywhere, Nimble Studio prototypes five short films with ~120 distributed artists and stitches ~50 AWS services into a turnkey pipeline, and studios report predictable cost swings (one shop grows monthly spend from mid-six to low-seven digits while scaling artists 25→65). Tool highlights include Weta’s tree growth software and real‑time Unreal workflows with LED walls for on‑set compositing.
