MPC's Damien Fagnou on Technology Infrastructure Considerations of Bringing "Alien: Covenant In Utero" 360-degree VR Experience to Market

 

We were able to leverage the Technicolor private network that connects all the global Technicolor locations, including those of MPC VR FILM, to build truly global teams working on the project, following the sun and meeting a really tight deadline while allocating the right resources in the right locations.

 

The producers of ALIEN: COVENANT have released "Alien: Covenant In Utero" a virtual reality experience, ahead of the movie's release. In a podcast interview for journalists (http://alien.technicolor.com/), MPC Chief Technology Officer, Damien Fagnou, says the tight production schedule to get the VR experience completed and released ahead of the movie would have been very difficult to achieve without the use of the Technicolor Production Network (TPN) and MPC's cloud-based rendering resources.
