MXIS

MediaXchange Infinite Storytelling

International Virtual Production Summit

A new era of creative development and real-time production

NEW dates for 2022 coming soon

2021 has been the dawning of a paradigm shift that will transform creative development, content production, and storytelling. Real-Time Filmmaking, Games and TV are drawing closer together – reducing budgets, increasing flexibility, and bringing the potential of wider creative collaboration around the world. Understanding the influence of new content development and production workflows, allows for more interactive and immersive elements in storytelling.

MediaXchange’s first international Virtual Production Summit (October/November 2021) was moderated by industry veteran Joerg Bachmaier and explored how to enhance storytelling where games, digital entertainment, and traditional TV drama intersect and listened to those at the forefront of this new wave of change.

MediaXchange Infinite Storytelling

Exploring a story in three dimensions versus constrained by a camera frame is something that has only been accessible to sculptors. Digital sculpting creates a spatial awareness and a more explorative means of storytelling.”
Ron Martin, Creative & Technical Director, Media & Entertainment – Unity Technologies
