Habib Zargarpour: Revolutionising the Production Process (Season 2.6)
Habib Zargarpour is on a mission to revolutionise the film production process. Having been a two-time BAFTA winner and Academy Award nominee at Industrial Light and Magic, Habib then moved into gaming and game design winning awards whilst at Microsoft/XBox and Electronic Arts. Now with his new venture, Digital Monarch Media, Habib is implementing the technologies and strategies he developed in games to revolutionise the storytelling process in film. And he’s been doing this recently to empower storytellers like Steven Spielberg (for READY PLAYER ONE) Jon Favreau (THE JUNGLE BOOK) and Denis Villeneuve (BLADE RUNNER 2049). In this episode of FILM DISRUPTORS, I talk with Habib about how these new technologies liberate filmmakers to experiment creatively, build visual effects in real-time and make efficiency gains across the entire process. As we dive into the future of production, Habib also explains how these strategies can be used for films of all sizes and provides his powerful and compelling advice for emerging storytellers.
