Storytelling, Visual Effects, & World of AR/VR - The RAS Project 067 w/ Ollie Rankin

Ollie Rankin is a multidisciplinary storyteller and artist who spent two decades working at the forefront of the global visual effects industry, from the Lord of the Rings to Alice Through the Looking Glass. He combines this history of creative achievement with a background in computer programming and AI to develop new narrative conventions in interactive media.
