Delving into topics including the impact of tech on broadcast media, and how creativity has always moved with the times, we also explore:

  • How has the media industry changed over the last 20 years
  • What virtual production is
  • The impact of AI on production - and why the human element is still an important factor
  • Unreal Engine and the MetaHuman: Are we moving into post-actor/human times? (Hint - no).
  • Which media companies are exciting Alex the most at the moment
