Here he discusses the track:

"The time is now, we are immersed in digital - tools, process and experience - and every part of the storytelling process needs to acknowledge the reality of Virtual Production. The 5D Institute is focused on immersive design and the creative process for building story worlds. At FMX, we’ll present and discuss worldbuilding, in 4 parts: Inception - imagining and developing the world; Prototyping - testing the world and the narrative it contains; Manufacturing - building the world, real or virtual, for studio and capture; and Finishing - final resolution and the audience experience."
