SVG's newest event, the SVG NEXT conference, visits Los Angeles on November 13 to tackle some of the major bleeding-edge trends beginning to impact the sports video production industry. As part of our leadup to this event, we have hosted four SVG NEXT Conversations to begin to scratch the surface of what will be discussed in detail at the event. Here is Episode 2 from that series.
In Episode 3 of SVG NEXT Conversations, discover how companies have combined applications of Unreal Engine, augmented reality, virtual production, and other forms of emerging technology with realtime fan engagement to elevate the viewing experience and increase revenue opportunities before, during, and after live sporting events.
This discussion features:
Dana Ware, Chief Creative Officer (CCO), ARound, Co-Chair of Women in Games, Advisor for GDC's VRDC Summit, (former) Creative Director, The VOID, Spatial Computing & XR Specialist
Scott Rosekrans, CG Supervisor | Virtual Production Supervisor, Zoic Studios, Authorized Unreal Engine Instructor, CG Pro and Epic Games
Patrick Dees, Co-Founder | Chief Revenue Officer, Fan Controlled Sports + Entertainment, Co-Founder | Chief Gaming Officer, Fan Controlled Football League
Learn how XR, AR, and virtual production are crossing over into real-time production and making a unique visual difference for sports broadcasts. In addition, the experts discuss how AI is going to help fill the gaps in the live-production pipeline and raise the bar for the fan's live experience. Hear how sports-media organizations are looking to serve fans who want a new level of interactivity, especially when it comes to wagering on live games. And, finally, here how all of these emerging technologies are already driving larger and more engaged audiences thanks to the enhanced storytelling capabilities they offer.
