WHAT
In celebration of Unreal Engine’s Virtual Production Week, we will be speaking with beloved one-man-band Cory Strassburger and the innovative Elizabeth Ito about their current projects. Strassburger’s fun—and alien—alter ego Blu, stars in Xanadu, a YouTube show developed with an incredible blend of MetaHuman resources, motion capture and in-engine animation, giving us a peek at the future of the Metaverse. Ito’s Mall Stories taps into nostalgic storytelling, while engaging in an interactive narrative based around our classic hangout spot—the mall.
Join us as they share their unique storytelling journeys, how they create their visions, and what it’s like making big projects with small teams, as well as insight on how to do it yourself!
