(Caitlin Wright) This talk will go into detail about how Python is used as the glue to transfer data between applications, and by extension, between artists; and how we use it to allow artists to spend more time creating and less time worrying about technology and associated problems. This talk requires virtually no technical understanding of Python, and will present only a small amount of code -- it is intended for people who are interested in receiving a glimpse "behind the curtain" to the technology used in the production of CG and VFX in content of all shapes and sizes, and seeing how Python is a core part of that. Attendees will leave with, not only an understanding of how Python is utilised in the Visual Effects industry, but with a better understanding of how Visual Effects and CG is produced in general.
