Future Tools for Today’s Creatives

Small advances in technology often mean huge changes in the time and effort needed to execute creative work - or result in us completely re-thinking how to do things. Here are a few examples new innovations in technology that have the potential to completely change the way we think about doing things:

The Mandalorian’s Virtual Production.

Watch as they explain how they were able to incorporate entire backdrops on the day of the shoots, allowing them the flexibility they needed:

Machine learning helps generate 3D objects from 2D photos

New breakthroughs in Machine Learning are happening each week and particularly ones in the image creation sphere. Here we have one which presents a potential future where modelling is no longer required, only a single photograph and some processing power to create the 3d version for you.

AR clothing 

With AR face filters now gaining traction, it only makes sense to extend these effects to our everyday clothing items. Here we see infamous clothing brand Vetements take the first steps in the brave new world of AR hoodies
