On “Avatar,” the vfx team at Weta couldn’t directly import the “template” footage that came from the virtual shoot. Instead, they’d have to re-create the digital scenes and characters from scratch. On the sequels, Weta will be able to bring that template in as a low-res version of the scene and start working on upgrading the image without having to start over.

OpenColorIO (OCIO) is a new open source project from Sony Imageworks.
Based on development started in 2003, OCIO enables color transforms and image display to be handled in a consistent manner across multiple graphics applications. Unlike other color management solutions, OCIO is geared towards motion-picture post production, with an emphasis on visual effects and animation color pipelines.
