As the entertainment industry is facing changes of a magnitude not seen since the introduction of sound and color, with the realization of the power of AI, as well as offshore filmmaking, we have to ask ourselves, where do we stand as creators, and where will we be in 5 years? As professionals we have survived many changes in the last 30 years: Analog to digital, 2D to 3D, but this new threat is something totally different, and is of great concern to many, both incoming and veterans. This panel will address what we feel, as professionals in the film and game business, is the direction the business will take, and hope for survival with these massive changes.
