SIGGRAPH Bengaluru was represented on the panel “Rise of AI and Filmmaking”, held with the Bangalore International Film Festival and the Confederation of Indian Industry.
The panel explored how AI could change the whole filmmaking pipeline. Our representative spoke about how emerging techniques in pre-production, VFX and virtual production can help local filmmakers work within tight budgets, shorten schedules and reach international audiences.
A theme the chapter championed was bringing more technology into the region’s art-driven film community, with practical paths towards building home-grown products and workflows, and towards establishing Bengaluru and India as a force in global media and entertainment.
