EVOLVING REALITIES IN THE VFX INDUSTRY
Global Shifts, Local Gains: Navigating the Future of VFX
The visual effects industry is in the midst of a transformative era, shaped by post-pandemic production spikes, accelerated adoption of AI-driven workflows, and evolving global audience and content demands. Our Mundos Digitales panel brings together leading voices in VFX, to unpack recent industry shifts, share hard-earned insights, and explore what lies ahead.
Hosted by Sophie Maydon, Founder of PXL Talent, the discussion will explore how studios have adapted to rapid technological change, shifting client expectations, and the emergence of new working models. From a reduction in content triggered by strikes and streaming upheavals, to the rise of real-time tools and cloud-based collaboration, the panel will examine both the pressures facing the industry and the opportunities redefining its future.
A spotlight will be placed on Spain’s growing influence in the global VFX arena. With a surge in international investment, a wave of co-productions, and an expanding pool of local talent, Spanish studios are gaining global recognition for combining creative excellence with cost-effective production. Hear directly from leaders in the Spanish market (Manuel Ramírez – El Ranchinto and Raúl Rocha – Illusorium Studios) as they discuss the region’s unique position, strategies for talent retention and innovation, and its role in the next chapter of global VFX.
World VFX Day Founder, Hayley Miller, will bring global industry insights. Alba Meijide will provides updates on how Artificial Intelligence is evolving within VFX.
