Description

This is the first of a new type of member-only event. An informal discussion-type format, that's about 40min long. If you've been to a Birds of a Feather event at the SIGGRAPH conference it's a very similar idea. Anyone can ask/answer a question or add to what someone else just said.

This month's topic is "Moving into VR" and we're lucky to have as our guest speaker, Ethan Shaftel (https://www.ethanshaftel.com/), who started off in directing/editing and only a few years ago moved into VR. His VR work has been selected for the Tribeca, and Sundance Film Festivals (in 2018 and 2019 respectively). With his current work AJAX ALL POWERFUL, screening at the Venice Film Festival in 2020.

If you've been thinking about getting into VR, this discussion is for you. And if you're in VR come and share your knowledge and experience. This is a new event that we're trying out that allows you to hang out with your fellow LA SIGGRAPH members in a Zoom meeting format (this is not a webinar) and chat with them about issues of importance to the community.

This event will not be recorded.
