Exploring the Intersection of History, Technology, and Multi-Platform Storytelling
Explore the magic of storytelling as the kickoff of PICTURE THIS_2023! In the opening keynote, Amy Jupiter, a renowned Imagineer, VFX supervisor, and Creative Producer unveils the art and science behind the cutting-edge frontier of narratives. With experience spanning some of the world’s most iconic blockbusters and immersive experiences, Amy invites the audience to a journey where history, technology, and multi-platform storytelling converge. Narratives are reimagined, and tales are woven with threads of innovative world-building techniques and volumetric story mechanics. Every element, meticulously crafted, is a testament to Amy’s human-first, historically supported, technology-heavy creative process.
Amy’s experience across the various storytelling and filmmaking disciplines are a testament to her mastery and innovation in the realm of visual storytelling. She is a recipient of back-to-back VES (Visual Effects Society) Awards for her outstanding leadership in visual effects, notably recognized for her contributions to Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle Of The Sunken Treasure and Avatar: Flight of Passage. These iconic attractions, including the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, have not only captivated audiences but have also been honored with TEA (Themed Entertainment Association) awards as Outstanding Attractions.
In the aftermath of the success of Web Slingers: A Spiderman Adventure, Amy has recently embarked on a new journey with the launch of By Jove: A Collective of Perspective. This consultancy, a blend of expertise and innovation, is at the forefront of developing immersive narratives across diverse media landscapes. Amy’s recent collaboration with Theme Park veteran Joe Rohde in creating the New Mexico Experience for Virgin Galactic’s space tourism adventure epitomizes her relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries. With the upcoming Denny Sanford Elephant Valley slated to open in 2025, Amy continues to weave magic, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
As a Scholar in Residence at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, Amy is not just a creator but a nurturer, fostering the next generation of immersive creators. Her insights, gleaned from years of experience and innovation, illuminate the path for aspiring artists and technicians. The fusion of history and technology underpins Amy’s narratives, breathing life into stories that transcend traditional platforms, beckoning audiences into worlds unimagined. The Opening Keynote and Fireside Chat of PICTURE THIS_23 drives an exploration into the reimagined narratives, where stories are not just told but are experienced, felt, and lived.
