"The VES is the foremost knowledge-base in the world concerning visual effects and we feel that we have a unique perspective as to how the work of visual artists and technologists intersect to have a huge impact on the business model bottom line." said VES Executive Director Eric Roth. "We are very excited to publish this first paper, which will serve as a foundation for future white papers delving into significant issues which face not only our craft, but the entertainment industry as a whole."
