Who would be better to speak about The Future of Immersive Storytelling than John Gaeta?
Gaeta is the co-founder and Executive Creative Director of ILMxLAB, Lucasfilm’s Immersive Entertainment division. He created the legendary, Academy Award-winning for visual effects – the Matrix trilogy. Innovations from the trilogy, such as “Bullet Time”, “Virtual Cinematography” and “Volumetric Capture” have changed our usual perception and shaped the science fiction aesthetic of an entire decade. Today, Gaeta is working closely with the Lucasfilm Star Wars Story Group, as well as with the Disney’s research and planning groups. Amongst the premier Star Wars original experiences currently developed under his aegis is the highly anticipated new virtual reality series based on Darth Vader. At MCB17, he provides us some insights on how he continuously manages to succeed in harnessing the latest technologies for creative storytelling.
