I'm often referred to as the Silver Scot on account of my grey locks (premature obviously) so it's rather fitting we are Silver Sponsors at this years External Development Summit (XDS). While you won't have the chance to see my dazzling mane in person you can meet my other team members. 😉 Discover how JALI is helping teams build critically acclaimed character driven games using our powerful, scalable automated facial animation software and pipeline solutions.

Even the most advanced technology is only as powerful as the story it tells. 🎥 The Olympics have always been a grand stage, not just for athletes but for storytellers too. As the world watched in awe, the responsibility of capturing these moments has evolved into a high-tech endeavour, and the 2024 Paris Games have been described as the most visually and sonically immersive games yet. At ShootCutPlay, we've been inspired by how the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) pushed the boundaries with cutting-edge technology—from 8K video and 360-degree filming to drones and cinematic camera lenses. Yet, as we know all too well, even the most advanced tech is only as powerful as the story it tells. Even though we bid farewell to the 2024 Olympics this Sunday, the magic of it all still lingers. Whether it was the stunning visuals or revolutionary sound, the emotions these moments evoke are what truly matter. Every cheer, every tear, every triumph - they served as a reminder of our role as a video agency: to capture the essence of these moments and weave them into captivating stories. As we keep up with these shifts in trends, we remain steadfast in our belief that storytelling lies at the core of our work. Whether it's for a global stage or a brand's latest campaign, the power of the story is what truly connects. Cheers to the storytellers, the tech innovators, and most importantly, the athletes who have inspired us all this year. 🥇 #Olympics2024 #Storytelling #VideoProduction #TechInnovation #Broadcasting #ShootCutPlay 📸 David Levene

Good insights from Gabriella Chihan Stanley. It's not always about re-creating the future, but how can we use technology like #VR to add value to existing things (make them easier, better, cheaper)? "The Clown" at Vienna´s world famous #Prater is just one great example of a very creative and inspiring mindset transforming a roller coaster experience! Listen in to the whole talk (and not only this short video). Gabs always has some inspiring insights!

Creating pertinent Learning content is not the ultimate goal. Making sure it is used and understood in a specific context, is the goal. We have been working on finetuning our activation strategy, thanks to the strong link we have developed with all our CFOs. In 2023, on average, each of our 4000 Finance&Legal employees have been learning 56 hours, either in formal trainings, elearnings, virtual classes, professionnal events, seminars. Here is an example on how our CHS Finance&Legal team is planning their development, both individually and collectively. Big up to Yana Zborets Yuliya Siabruk 🤩 Because, at L'Oréal we grow and we are obsessed by "seizing what is beginning", we offer access to the most relevant content and we help our employees plan their future growth. And also, because our Vision 2030 transformation has a very strong People side. And finally, because our leader Christophe Babule reminds us often that we need to "Learn, learn, learn" and gives us the means to do so.

Exploring XR Storytelling: Picture the stories that have been passed down by generations heard not only verbally but with visuals and audio almost complementing them. It is this intriguing evolution that is becoming possible through Extended Reality (XR), an area in which Africa’s creative potential is well positioned. In this series, we are looking at the African XR space, examining how virtual reality is changing how narratives are told. We address how effectively XR can revive old myths and legends. #AfricanXR #TheFutureofStorytelling

Who said #art and #technology don't mix? Certainly not the incredible folks I met at the Web Summit in Doha. There, the fusion of #creativity and #innovation was impossible to ignore. Shaikha Al Thani from Qatar Museums was there, passionately outlining their efforts to give artists and new art brands the spotlight they deserve. The challenge? Navigating the tricky waters of branding and demand generation in an increasingly digital world. Then, there was Tamzin Lovell, founder of Artfundi, whose platform is revolutionizing how artists and galleries manage their digital presence. With Artfundi, the complex becomes simple, allowing creatives to focus on their art while seamlessly connecting with audiences worldwide. It's a testament to the power of targeted, industry-specific solutions in the digital age. This convergence of art, technology, and marketing was inspiring. The fact is, we've seen a growing demand from art companies for digital marketing services, underscoring the need for platforms like Artfundi. It's an amazing time for the art world, as technology opens new doors for #expression, #connection, and #growth.
