Today, Diane shares how Disney uses technology to create magical experiences for their guests, next-generation innovations that reimagine film production, and her best practices for building a culture of innovation. Quick hits from Diane: On Disney’s next-generation film production technology: “We do a lot of our filming on stages with something called Stagecraft, which is an integrated, virtual production environment. In traditional movie making, you'll construct a physical set but then you might film with a green screen. With Stagecraft, instead of virtual post production, it’s displayed live; you have these physically constructed partial sets that allow the directors, actors and the camera operators to position themselves accordingly.
