Introduction to On-Set VFX Data
The VES Technology Committee released their comprehensive guide for On-Set VFX Data, detailing the data types and capture methods overseen by production-side VFX teams and how they can best be used across a project. Designed to establish a common language between on‑set VFX, production, VFX facilities, and technology teams, to enable clearer communication, smoother handoffs, and better-aligned expectations so that every participant understands what information exists and how it can support their work.
The VES On-Set VFX Data Collection and Usage Guide was created for the VES Technology Committee by VES Award for Creative Excellence winning Visual Effects Supervisor Sheena Duggal, with contributions from VES Technology Committee Co-Chair, Open-Source Developer and former Disney Imagineer Sam Richards, TV Academy Governor, Virtual Production and Visual Effects Supervisor Jim Geduldick, and Visual Effects Supervisor Jake Morrison with technical support from Academy Software Foundation Technology Advisory Council member Jean‑Francois Panisset.
