‘The Odyssey Project’ by Jenny Koons

Because the world of immersive comes at you fast

This week at NoPro: we did our Immersive 5 Q&A set with Jenny Koons of The Odyssey Project and Queen of the Night and interviewed AR/VR creators John MacInnes and Remington Scott on the podcast. And we clarified our editorial policies around content advisories. Listen to the latest NoPro podcast episode for more details. (This is in addition to our new intake form for creators who wish to have their shows listed on NoPro.)

ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK

Digital alchemists John MacInnes and Remington Scott met while making Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, kicking off a collaboration (MacInness Scott) that is exploring the bleeding edge of photorealism. But these two are about more than brain melting tech that can turn Hollywood actors and politicians into digital humans: all that is just the groundwork for exploring the art of storytelling on the immersive digital frontier.

Host Noah Nelson talks with John and Remington about the history of their collaboration, their work for Netflix on an Altered Carbon promotion, and just where all this is headed.
