AI is Here!

Doors open at 9:00 am (but guests can check in at any time).

Get ready for the day ahead and debrief the previous day’s sessions over a coffee with fellow lovers of craft.

The music video landscape has changed dramatically with the rise of social media, which has become the focal point of youth culture, content consumption, and information sharing. As a result, traditional music promos have seen a significant decrease in financial investment, with social media and other visual assets taking center stage in promoting an artist or a track.

In this session, social media-born directing star David Vu (Caviar UK) will explore the music industry’s growing need to cut through the noise and create viral music videos in the social media era.

Join us for a live demonstration of the latest innovations in video editing and motion graphics. This session will allow participants to see the newest tools in action and understand how they can enhance their creative workflows, as well as sharing insights, experiences, and passion for filmmaking, animation, VFX, and motion graphics.

For the panel, join our Jury Presidents Medb Riordan (Academy Films), Mal Ward (Arts & Sciences), Tim Nash (Somesuch), Adrian Shapiro (Scoundrel), Bianca Guimaraes (Mischief) and Carol Dunn (Barking Owl) who will gather on stage to offer an exclusive insight into what went down in the jury room when deciding the winners as well as discussing some of the emerging trends in the industry.

This panel will be moderated by Jason Stone, Editor for David Reviews.
