Wonder Dynamics is utilizing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to develop cutting-edge technologies, innovate production tools and create original content for Film and TV Industry. A startup founded in 2017 by Ready Player One star Tye Sheridan and VFX expert Nikola Todorovic aims to lower the cost and level the playing field for visual effects.

In 2021, the company raised $9 million in a Series A funding round that included Epic Games and Samsung as investors, helping expand its team of machine learning engineers and CG artists to expedite Wonder AI Suite — a cloud-based content creation platform designed to bring blockbuster-level VFX to projects of all sizes. 

The startup has a heavyweight advisory board that includes Sheridan’s Ready Player One director Steven Spielberg, Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo, Capital Factory CEO Joshua Baer, Rhea Films’ Terry Dougas, Google research scientist and Berkeley professor Angjoo Kanazawa, private equity investor Robert Schwab, MIT Head of AI Antonio Torralba and Film Finances president Gregory Trattner.

In this Podcast, Allan McKay interviews Co-Founder and CEO of Wonder Dynamics Nikola Todorovic about the launch of the company, its Advisory Board that includes Steven Spielberg, the AI tools that the startup is building – and how all of this machine learning tech is helping filmmakers with their storytelling.
