Call for Submissions

The Digital Production Symposium (DigiPro 2025) brings together the world’s premier creators of digital visual effects, animation, and interactive experiences. Engineers, scientists, artists, and producers gather to share solutions, challenges, insights, and novel ideas that bring innovation to real-world production.

We welcome submissions on any topic related to digital motion picture production or interactive content creation, including both those which had a strong impact and those that failed spectacularly. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Practical production processes and workflows.

Computer graphics research for visual effects and animated features.

Emerging production technologies: cinematic VR/AR, virtual production, AI, etc.

It is important to the Digipro organizers that the conference represents the entire population of the visual effects and digital content creation industries. To that end we encourage submissions from diverse and underrepresented voices.

We are excited to host talks that catalyze discussions and leave the audience inspired to explore further. Code sharing is encouraged whenever possible. Each presentation should be grounded in some way in practical production experience. Talks should not be sales pitches or product promotions; nor should they be primarily production overviews.

Each submission should convey:

The key idea or innovation.

Technical substance and detail.

Associated production experience.

Insights and lessons learned.

Submissions may take the form of a technical paper or an extended abstract with associated visual material. Novel proposals and formats are welcome, but submissions must provide sufficient technical detail to demonstrate relevance to the audience. Submissions will be reviewed by an International Program Committee. Presentations are generally between 20 to 30 minutes long, including Q&A.

Written material should be submitted in PDF form; videos should be Quicktime, MPEG, or AVI. Accepted papers will be both presented at the symposium and published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that the publication date of the proceedings may be as early as July 17.

DigiPro 2025 will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Saturday, August 9, 2025 (immediately preceding SIGGRAPH 2025). Presentations will be in person.

Accepted authors can have their in-person presentations recorded and subsequently added to their publications in the ACM Digital Library. While this is entirely optional, we encourage this for increased sharing with members of the community who cannot attend in person.

Submission Deadline: Friday May 16, 2025, 11:59pm PDT (UTC-7:00).
