If you’re attending today do swing past to listen to our panel discussion, BAFTA Albert Sustainability Series: Cleaning Up Post Production Energy Use, at 13:40.

We’ll be discussing techniques to measure and reduce energy consumption, and I’ll be speaking about Dirty Looks ongoing partnership with .energy to gift waste post-production compute heat back to the community, for free!

Producing the finest content requires high levels of processing power and lots of energy. Explore the innovative technology minimising post production energy use, and with clients seeking to understand their impact, we look at how to calculate and apportion server usage and ways to minimise data without compromising on quality.
