Virtual Production is a filmmaking 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 that combination 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 beast?
The VIPROS project is a collaboration between leading film, CGI and games educations, established to explore the virtual production concept. We shed light on the opportunities and challenges it offers and we examine the evolving skillsets of the people involved.
Today, the first field tests of the VIPROS project are done and key lessons learned from the collaborations between movie makers and game developers are ready to be shared with the world. On October 25th we invite artists, technologists and decision-makers from across the two sectors to a conversation on how to sort the ramifications of virtual production and bolt on new skills for the opportunities created by virtual production.
