With health and safety protocols likely to remain in effect for many months to come (and warnings that we\u2019ll be social distancing and wearing masks well into 2022), it\u2019s clear that we\u2019ll be in a hybrid work scenario for some extended period of time. The practice of putting the customer into the darkened room while the artist drives the session remotely to preserve pandemic protocols is likely to work into our industry\u2019s \u2018muscle memory\u2019 in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>Source: Chuck Parker, CEO, Sohonet<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AT A GLANCE:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of 2021, Sohonet CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohonet.com\/our-resources\/blogs\/remote-collaboration-is-a-fact-of-life-as-post-production-finds-a-home-in-the-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chuck Parker<\/a> notes in a post on the company blog, the industry will have experienced 21 months of remote collaboration. This trend will continue as people realize that remote collaboration tools not only solve practical issues inherent in content creation, but also help provide an improved quality of life for artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe VFX industry began the move to cloud at scale in 2015, driving improved rendering costs and time efficiencies and introducing new workflows. In 2020, the pandemic kicked remote use cases for creative tools into overdrive, resulting in more post production processes moving to the cloud, boosting remote distributed collaboration,\u201d Parker notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are still two major hurdles for the industry to clear before cloud-based remote workflows can be considered the norm. One is the economic costs of hardware already deployed in facilities around the world, and Parker estimates that it will take an additional 18-30 months to arrive at a future where the majority of new purchases use a SaaS model versus the currently most common capital expenditure model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

style=\"object-fit:cover;width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second major hurdle is solving the challenges of what Parker calls \u201ccritical review output,\u201d which Parker defines as the \u201cneed to provide the same video and audio fidelity and \u2018over the shoulder\u2019 responsiveness that our industry demands of our in-suite experiences from the cloud delivered equivalent solutions.\u201d The issue is especially complex \u201cbecause video and audio fidelity requirements demand large streaming payloads which in turn create more challenges for latency and contention on the network.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head over to the <a
