Visual Effects Supervisor Ryan Laney will describe the novel way artificial intelligence and machine learning were used to mask the identities of interview subjects in the award-winning HBO documentary Welcome to Chechnya. "Machine learning is poised to transform visual effects production, accelerating workflows and paving the way for a new generation of astonishingly real visual effects," says Barry Goch, who will moderate the discussion. "Will Harris, Mathieu Mazerolle and Brian Gaffney will demonstrate game-changing technologies. Ryan Laney will share his experience in applying machine learning to a real-world production."
