Conversations with some of the animation industry's most celebrated independent creators.
For almost twenty years, Goro has been leading the way in immersive technologies, in particular, with the use of Quill, the painting and animation software designed for virtual reality. Goro sits down to tell us his own story and why VR, while it’s still the wild west, is the most amazing technology for harnessing a 3D space in a direct and yet intuitive way. Lots to say, and he definitely knows how to say it, listening to Goro is akin to sitting at the feet of a master. Not to be missed.
