Join filmmaker Henry Daubrez, senior UX lead Nick Matarese, and product manager Jessica Gallegos in a discussion on how collaborations between filmmakers and technology are expanding creative potential and inspiring the development of new technologies, like Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking tool that puts artistic control in the hands of creatives. The discussion includes a screening of Daubrez’s animated concept trailer The Light Within, followed by a scene-by-scene breakdown of the creative workflows used to bridge the gap between initial concept and final frame. This is a unique look at how filmmakers and technologists are developing generative storytelling techniques and workflows rooted in their creative vision.
