The SIGGRAPH 2019 Production Sessions program has been announced, with a

lineup of behind-the-scenes looks at the “making of” the year’s biggest

productions in film, streaming, cable, games, and VR. Offering exclusive access to

the best minds in visual effects, the Production Sessions will be held throughout

the conference week, July 28 – August 1, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

With 11 total sessions, attendees can expect to hear from creators who worked

on award-winning studio blockbusters, buzz worthy streaming and cable series,

and out-of-this-world games and VR productions, including a look at how TIME,

Felix & Paul Studios, and NASA filmed VR experience Space Explorers in

microgravity on the International Space Station.

“Every year, SIGGRAPH Production Sessions leave participants feeling inspired,

energized, and ready to push new boundaries,” SIGGRAPH 2019 Production

Sessions Chair Derrick Nau said. “As the computer graphics industry evolves and

continues to reinvent itself, old methods have faded in favor of an environment of

openness, blurred boundary lines, and unparalleled depth of creative

collaboration among studios around the world. I think our 2019 programming

reflects this modern momentum, and I’m so excited for all of our featured

creators to share their stories. Choosing less than a dozen was tough, but I think

we have excellent representation of the current breadth of graphics across film,

television, VR, and games.”

Productions Sessions are open to conference participants with Select Conference,

Full Conference, or Full Conference Platinum registrations. The Production Gallery

can be accessed with an Experiences badge and above.
