Talents Innovation Forum: Real-life Examples of How AI and Virtual Production Are Transforming the Way Stories Are Made by OTO Family
OTO Family lifts the curtain on a unified pipeline where virtual production stages, proprietary AI tools, and post‑production expertise converge to give emerging filmmakers bigger creative scope with smaller footprints. Through concrete examples, a carbon‑saving LED‑volume shoot by VuFinder Studios, an AI‑enhanced Škoda campaign deconstructed by Orka, and Taifun’s machine‑learning engine animating the new “Bolek i Lolek” feature, the session shows how targeted automation trims budgets and timelines without displacing artistic judgement. The session will also explore where their current constraints lie, and how lower carbon footprints can coexist with expansive creative ambition.
