Jon M. Chu expressed how he took advantage of the Apple Vision Pro while working on “Wicked.” He noted that Vision Pro greatly facilitated the process of reviewing the film’s post-production on a substantial virtual screen, allowing him to collaborate with colleagues across different locations.
“For Wicked, we dealt with numerous visual effects from around the globe,” Chu remarked. “From my home, I had a display larger than what we had in the screening room while communicating with team members situated on various continents, watching the playback simultaneously.”
