Artificial Intelligence is changing everything from entertainment and business, to culture itself. Matthew Luhn, a 20-year Pixar story veteran will share how AI is being used to create compelling stories and characters.
Matthew will share his experience working as one of the first 12 animators on Toy Story, the first computer-generated animated film released by Pixar. You’ll learn how other studios in the film industry were worried CG animation could ruin the animation industry. He will also share his experience working as a CG animator at George Lucas’s company, ILM, and how Jurassic Park and other films using CG worried people in the puppet/model-making industry. But instead of people losing their jobs, the animation and film industry thrived because of CG animation. How the story of AI plays out may well be similar.
New things can be scary. But those who adopt new technology–-especially in entertainment and business–will be the ones to reap the benefits. When we look at the cautionary tales from the past, we see that companies that did not adopt new technology–like Blockbuster Video and Kodak–went out of business or fell behind.
Along with his work in animation and film, Matthew coaches business leaders, entrepreneurs, top influencers, and content creators on how to adopt the best AI tools to build great content and stories.
In this engaging keynote, Matthew will share the four ways to help you and your company adopt new ideas, get past their fear of change, and effectively use AI.
Storytelling is the #1 business skill necessary to connect, motivate, and lead people in today’s world. Stories compel us to engage in experiences, learn lessons, and define our values and ourselves within our organization.
Matthew Luhn, former 20 year Pixar story artist and animator, brings his experience creating and developing 10 blockbuster films at Pixar, and provides practical strategies that teach and inspire people and teams to connect more effectively with audiences.
Matthew uses the power of storytelling to bridge the gap between business and heart, driving your story toward one unforgettable selling point.
Big data is changing everything from content development to culture itself. Matthew Luhn, former 20 year Pixar story artist and animator, will share how big data is being used to create great stories and characters in Hollywood and beyond.
Matthew’s experience and insight will empower and inspire publishers, advertisers and innovators on how to forge stronger, more meaningful connections with consumers.
When your company’s product or service appears similar to your competitor’s offerings, how can you differentiate and get consumers to notice? In this enlightening and entertaining talk, Matthew Luhn, accomplished writer and story artist on the Toy Story films, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, UP, and Ratatouille, will share his methods and experiences working with Pixar and advising other Fortune 500 companies. Audiences will learn how to innovate, differentiate and stay relevant in today’s business world, creating more value and winning customer loyalty.
One of the most essential resources for any business to stay competitive is new ideas that spark innovation. Matthew Luhn, former 20 year Pixar story artist and animator, participated in building and sustaining the creative culture at Pixar from startup to the most successful filmmaking group in the history of Hollywood.
Matthew’s engaging and action-oriented talk will provide strategies on how to create a culture that encourages and nurtures new ideas, and embraces fear and failing as a necessary part of the creative process. He demonstrates how to empower relationships and build trust through authentic communication.
