II. CGI: FROM PRINT TO TV TO DIGITAL
(11:00-12:00PM)
CGI (computer generated imaging) gives companies and their ad agencies the ability to create ultra-realistic product images without using photography. These images can be multipurposed for all media platforms: TV, print, Web, social-media apps and more. In addition to this boundless flexibility, CGI hugely reduces photography and post-photography expenses such as retouching and color correction. Basically anything can be created in CGI from cellphones to cars to soda cans. In this session, Rob Bender, Chief Technology Officer - MCT, and Mike Banka, Senior Executive Account Management - MCT, will discuss the new technologies in CGI, applications, as well as the cost savings over traditional photography.
