Explore remote production with AWS Partners at SIGGRAPH

In response to the exceptional demand for remote collaboration and virtual production, studios across the globe have shifted to cloud-based workflows for animation, visual effects (VFX), rendering, and editing. On-demand access to virtual workstations, elastic high-speed file storage, and scalable render farm capacity allow studios to scale up (and down) to meet project demand, onboard artistic talent anywhere in the world, and implement follow-the-sun production pipelines.

AWS Partners provide artists their favorite industry-leading software and automation tools in the cloud, which eliminates the time and overhead of installing and managing physical infrastructure. Now, creatives and studios can focus solely on what they do best – creating bingeable content and immersive viewing experiences.
