With the technologies of stage, screen and immersive converging, and the boundaries between these different media dissolving, new spatial storytelling opportunities are emerging. Come and hear from the director of the UK’s first scripted drama production to use the new Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera developed specifically for Apple Vision Pro’s 180° immersive video format: Robyn Winfield-Smith will share creative, technical and practical insights into the unique opportunities and challenges of shooting premium stereoscopic narrative content for Apple Vision Pro, covering story development and previsualisation, stereoscopic workflows, the use of scenic elements to guide audience attention, spatial audio considerations, and the future of spatial entertainment.
