רבדים של מציאות - כיתת אמן

This class will focus on the cinematic, performing arts, and game design theory that is helping shape production design for immersive media, as well as how they respectively influence experiential storytelling. During the second half of the class, attendees can either do a workshop covering 360 video creation or experiential game engine development strategies. This combined conceptual and technical focus will show how to create with an expanded sense of possibility, while also preparing to pitch ideas for labs, residencies, and festivals.
