Script to Final Pixel

Mastering the Unified Production Ecosystem with GO Studio

Join two-time Emmy-winning VFX Supervisor and Global Objects CTO Erick Geisler as he introduces GO Studio, the definitive central hub for modern filmmaking that transforms the production pipeline into a unified, high-fidelity ecosystem. From the first prompt to the final frame, GO Studio empowers creators to automate script breakdowns and build entire worlds by merging advanced generative AI with "ground truth" real-world assets. As a secure command center for digital IP, the platform enables seamless collaboration and effortless output to any environment—whether exporting immersive 3D Gaussian Splat environments to GO Stage for LED volume playback or syncing with Lightcraft Jetset for precision production. By bridging the gap between generative imagination and physical reality, GO Studio allows you to build your world, share your vision, and shoot your reality in one streamlined, shared workflow.

STAGE 1

Beyond the Prompt

The Real Art of Generative Production

Come along with Eyeline Head of Studios, Kevin Baillie, for a peek behind the prompt and discover the real art driving generative production. We’ll take you through what these tools are—and what they aren’t. See how artists leverage the machine muse to shape their work through practical workflows that translate seamlessly from traditional craft to AI-enabled creation. With real-world examples from a seasoned maker, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding, sharper instincts, and fresh readiness to Make What’s Next.

From Creation to Compliance

The New Legal Playbook for AI and Data

AI is accelerating change across the technology, media and entertainment sectors—and the legal landscape is racing to keep up. This panel offers a clear, practical look at the legal issues that most directly impact innovation, strategy, and risk management.

Experts will break down what recent lawsuits and regulatory actions are on the horizon, how copyright and fair-use principles apply to AI training data, and how companies can navigate complex legal issues while still moving fast. The discussion will highlight emerging compliance expectations, potential liability hotspots, and the new norms taking shape around data use, training data licensing, protecting AI-generated content and contracting principles.

Executives will walk away with actionable insights on how to balance opportunity and risk, anticipate and address legal shifts, and make informed decisions as AI continues to redefine how technology and media businesses create, distribute, and compete.

2:10 PM - 2:50 PM

STAGE 1

From Prop House to Digital Pipeline

Inside ISS’s Living Archive of Production Assets

Join Independent Studio Services (ISS) for an exclusive live demo showcasing how iconic, screen-used props are evolving from physical assets into production-ready digital experiences. Led by Hayden Bilson and members of the ISS team, this session offers a behind-the-scenes look at select props from the world’s largest prop house paired with real-time demonstrations.

Attendees will see how ISS is rethinking access, discovery, and reuse of production assets by bridging the physical and digital worlds. From close-up hero props to navigable virtual tours, the demo highlights how productions can scout, plan, and create with unprecedented efficiency—without compromising authenticity or craft.

2:50 PM - 3:30 PM

STAGE 1

Developing Films in the New Hollywood

Smarter Pre-Production Through Vidviz

At Monstrous Moonshine, we’re developing our next feature film using a new approach called Vidviz; a live-action form of previs where actors perform in front of a bluescreen while we live composite 3D environments from Chaos Vantage. These same assets later drive virtual production in Chaos Arena and finish in V-Ray for post, proving that one asset can carry through the entire filmmaking process. Vidviz lets filmmakers make creative and technical decisions early, visualizing how lighting, camera, and performance interact before stepping onto an LED stage. This workflow eliminates the “fix it in post” mindset by solving problems during planning instead of after. This session will show how Vidviz enables independent filmmakers to plan more effectively, reduce costs, and bridge the gap between traditional filmmaking and virtual production — redefining how stories are brought to life in the new Hollywood.

3:30 PM - 4:10 PM

STAGE 1

Rewriting the Pipeline

How Post Production Is Being Rebuilt in Real Time

From virtual production to AI-driven workflows, post production is no longer the final step, it’s a creative engine. This panel brings together top post-production innovators to explore how pipelines are being reimagined, where technology is truly adding value, and how teams are adapting to a future defined by speed, flexibility, and creative ambition.

4:10 PM - 4:50 PM

STAGE 1

We Built the Model.
Now Comes the Hard Part.

Generative AI works. What’s breaking is how production is organized around it. Once the technology is proven, the pressure shifts to greenlights, risk, budgets, and control. This session skips demos and optimism to look at what actually happens when AI enters real production at scale. A producer-led conversation about integration, responsibility, and the structural changes now confronting studios.
