IEET Affiliate Scholar Jon Perry and co-host Ted Kupper discuss the future of movies. They begin by addressing virtual reality and asking what impacts it will have on traditional moviemaking. In recent times, the cost of making an independent film has gone way down, and we consider whether those costs can drop even further, possibly as a result of better virtual filmmaking and machinima tools. Next, they analyze the shift towards greater serialization in movies and the rising dominance of television. Finally, they speculate wildly about the length of future movies, the effect of accelerating change on storytelling settings, personalized algorithmic movie production, and more.
