Pipeline Whitepaper
Taming the Complexity of Digital Productions
The complexity inherent in the production of digital content places high demands on production staff in terms of both time and attention which can significantly affect the quality and cost of delivering the final product.  The level of sophistication previously associated with large scale projects such as 3D animated films and blockbuster effects sequences are now becoming commonplace in the production of television commercials and games.  The depth of production pipelines, numbers of artists required, and sheer data size and complexity of all digital productions continues to increase. 

This paper highlights some of the most serious challenges to digital productions arising from this complexity and provides successful strategies for coping with these challenges.  A production visualization and automation tool called Pipeline created by Temerity Software which implements these strategies is introduced.
