Virtual Production is a film-making concept that relies heavily on games technology and allows filmmakers to combine live-action footage and computer generated images ( CGI ) in real-time. How does the combination of linear and iterative routines affect teams and workflows? Are we making films, games, or something in between, and what do we need to do in order to harness the powers of this new and rapidly emerging phenomenon?
The project explores the opportunities and challenges that virtual production entails for filmmakers and for film education. We look at how the development and production processes are affected when virtual production is applied and the skills gaps that are revealed. As an educational institution, we focus on the type of interdisciplinary activity and the type of training that are required to be able to exploit the potential of the new technology.
