Google Spotlight Stories Returns to Annecy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Spotlight Stories is bringing four new virtual reality projects to Annecy this year: PIGGY<\/em>, Age of Sail<\/em>, and Back to the Moon<\/em>, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the VR experience created for director Wes Anderson\u2019s new stop-motion animated feature, Isle of Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A division of Google\u2019s Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group, Google Spotlight Stories has won a slew of accolades for its experimental shorts, which have paired top animation talents with pioneering technology in order to push the boundaries of immersive, interactive storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnering with VR@Annecy<\/a> for the third year running, Google Spotlight Stories will be presenting a Studio Focus Session on Wednesday, June 13 at 6:00 p.m. Entitled \u201cAnimation Everywhere,\u201d the session will be moderated by GSS executive producer Karen Dufilho and creative director Jan Pinkava with GSS directors Fx Goby, Helene Leroux and John Kahrs joining in on the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
