Virtual Production is a film-making method that combines virtual and physical worlds. It's one of the most important developments in film-making in recent years and is becoming a vital asset to the audiovisual industry.
Not only large Hollywood productions make use of this new technology but small scale and short film productions also see the immense possibilities of Virtual Production.
This comprehensive webinar will introduce audiovisual professionals to the different kinds of virtual production. It will present the basics of how to run a virtual production and how the technology presents a key asset to content production.
The webinar – offered free of charge with the support of Coimisiún na Meán – will not only help participants understand its possibilities and provide an overview of helpful tools but will also touch upon the challenges that can arise while filming.
The webinar will feature presentations from Virtual Production Industry Experts, Louisa Bremner and Evgeny Kalachikhin. Following this Latvian Line Producer, Zane Buska will present a Case Study on the feature film The Book of Everything and on a short film, Limo.
