All about the data
Tom Haynes · 2007
All medium to large CGI productions require a pipeline of skilled people, hardware, software, standard procedures, and automation in order to ensure timely delivery of a final product. A manager or liaison is needed to coordinate all of the contributors and users of the pipeline, and making the pipeline scalable enough to handle increasing demands for more and larger data sets. Most importantly, the pipeline must be built around the data if the production is to realize greatest efficiency gains.
