Connecting Creativity to the Cloud

Remote Control: The Virtual Production Conference Live on September 24, 2020. After months of re-imagining, rebuilding and troubleshooting, new concepts around remote production and collaboration have taken shape. We’ve asked several industry leaders to give you their insights and lessons learned, in short and sweet presentations. We're joined in this episode by experts in remote collaboration with the cloud. The first discussion is moderated by Eric Iverson, CTO of ‪@amazonwebservices‬, and explores that rapid adoption of remote workflows with Vicki Dobbs Beck of @ILMxLAB , Dave Ward of PacketFabric, David Benson with Bebop Technology and Saker Klippsten of Zoic Studios. Next, early adopters of cloud deployment include Rob Goldheim and Wayne Caffrey with ‪@discovery‬ and they join our host Buzz Hays (‪@googlecloudtech‬ ) to discuss how they achieved cloud migration over numerous channels. Finally, Buzz provides his thoughts on staying creative while working remotely and tips you can use to increase your productivity and engagement.
