Lecture: Creating Immersive Sense of Storytelling in Your Visuals
PROGRAMME
Being an effective visual storyteller is more important now than ever if you want to create a meaningful experience, whether it’s a VR thrill ride or a quirky animated film. It is also the most confusing time to do so. This presentation will focus on using narrative elements from your source material to create an immersive sense of storytelling in your visuals. I will go into clarifying the context for where and how to use these elements based on the context of your chosen media. I will be sharing my observations through several examples from known franchises as well as my own personal experience of making design decisions that connect with an audience.
Time will be set aside at the end for Q & A and discussion, so please feel free to send us your questions in advance (team@anomalia.eu).
Speaker: Rustam Hasanov (Dreamworks, HBO, USA)
Moderator: David Toušek (ANOMALIA, Czech Republic)
The event is co-organized in cooperation with the training programme ANOMALIA.
