Joris Corthout, CEO of Prismax, and his team are the masterminds behind Digital Tomorrowland, the first virtual festival in Latin America, Bob Moses Tour Visual, and a whole bunch of other cool projects. We chat about their journey from being a production house to diving headfirst into the world of Unreal Engine. We also covered what goes into creating a virtual festival like Tomorrowland, and found out why the demand for virtual production is skyrocketing. This episode is great for both brands who want to expand their presence in the virtual worlds and also artists who want to learn Unreal Engine, find job opportunities and get into the virtual production industry.
