“The gaze will reveal things that you would tend to hide. There is an enormous amount of personal data that is revealed in the gaze.” - Murilo Pesce at #siggraph2021. Great to hear about the data dilemmas and the conflict between "possible" vs what's right or "legal".

“...you’re also giving the director real time decision potential… to be able to make decisions and blocking decisions in real time. This is huge in terms of the spark of creation” - Ken Nakada from Prime Video about virtual production at #siggraph2021

Playing with a car in the stage, which is casually big enough for any interior shooting and some exterior shooting. This is from a few weeks ago before we had the top panels in place; we will shoot a bit more with a car soon!
