Keyword Code: TECHCUP5BRIEF
As consumers invest in a variety of voice-enabled products and with the rise of facial-recognition apps and devices, it’s only natural to see the demand for images of these phenomena increasing. At the same time, these things don’t eradicate the need to demonstrate more traditional technologies that we still use every day, which will always remain high in demand.
Shot-List Thought-Starters
• Facial recognition demonstrated on mobile phones, computer tablets, and company security systems. *Could be as simple as a selfie without smiling that triggers access to the device, or practical light emitting from the device when unlocked. Allowing an FX artist to manipulate the image with graphics should be a consideration for the end user.
• Voice-enabled smart technologies that allow the user to activate entertainment systems, lighting, and appliances. * Be aware that this concept will be challenging considering most producers shoot MOS and are restricted from demonstrating copyrighted products such as Google Home and Amazon Echo in the marketplace.
