DescriptionNarwhal Studios' presentation explores the art of directing for virtual production and ICVFX, featuring insights into AAA productions and smaller projects. Led by Founder and VP of Creative Strategy, Felix Jorge, along with Studio Art Director Safari Sosebee, this discussion promises valuable perspectives.
Drawing from Narwhal's background in visualization and virtual production, including work from ‘The Star Wars Universe’ and Marvels’ “Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania,” the team will present case studies showing how real-time engines and virtual production workflows enhance the creative process.
The session will cover:

Overall, this presentation explores the transformative impact of virtual production tools on the entertainment industry, drawing on diverse project experiences.
