In a place brimming with so much new technology, amazing presentations, and cutting-edge experiences, why should Backlight be on your SIGGRAPH 2023 plan?
Short and simple, we’ve created an innovation hotbed.
Last year we attended SIGGRAPH to show ftrack Studio, Review, and cineSync, but this year we’re unveiling more of the Backlight product line. Here are seven reasons why you will want to us:
1. Visualize Work Management with ftrack Studio
ftrack Studio is an Academy Award-winning shot management, production tracking, and media review platform.
