Our artists worked really hard to make it a seamless blend between the two.

And now we can pop these LED stages up anywhere in the world when it's the right creative fit for a filmmaker.

OK, so that's blending the old and new, how tech and creativity working hand in hand create things we just love.

And last, maybe most importantly, our theme about artist-driven innovation.

So what happens when you put the latest AI tools in the hands of talented artists, both to see how good these tools are these days and what does it do to our artists' imagination?

His name is Landis Fields.
