Description

When the goal is to create work that’s so mysterious, strange, or unexpected that it sends chills up your spine, there’s a lot to achieve aesthetically and technically. A project’s design will come first but then all the live action and digital elements need to work together to support the story or game-play. From Aliens to Zombies, whether you're simulating bloody viscera or keeping the horror PG-13, how do you achieve a project’s unique aesthetic? What specific considerations, and/or opportunities do you have in interactive media versus film and TV? The panelists will present their brilliant case study solutions to these and other questions.

Following the panels at 9:00 p.m., join us for a VR Social Hour & Halloween Party Our venue will be The Sky Cinema Fly In Theater in Mozilla Hubs. The url will be given out to the panel attendees during the event. If you haven’t used Mozilla Hubs yet, please get started with this video tutorial "Getting Started with Mozilla Hubs".
