Join award-winning documentary filmmaker Anthony Geffen for his talk on the future of immersive storytelling and its potential for oceanography. The online talk is Monday, March 29 from 12pm-1:30pm.

In his talk, Geffen, CEO and Creative Director of Atlantic Productions, will discuss his early work as a pioneering documentary filmmaker, and how he and his team evolved factual storytelling in different ways, including their early use of 3D in documentaries. He will talk about the emergence of Immersive technologies and how he and his team have created disruptive immersive content, breaking the traditional rules of filmmaking and utilizing the latest technologies in virtual (VR) and augmented realities (AR). Anthony will then talk about rapid evolution in Immersive Storytelling, including the addition of AI, photogrammetry and scanning, which he anticipates will reach beyond the entertainment sector to affect the corporate, scientific, academic and professional worlds in the next 24-36 months, and specifically its potential within the oceanographic community.

This lecture is part of the GSO’s annual Vetlesen Distinguished Speaker Series, and is presented in cooperation with the Metcalf Institute and the Alan Shawn Feinstein College of Education and Professional Studies.
