EANI-313: Intro to Virtual Production

Explore the future of film and tv production as seen in projects such as The Mandalorian. Students will learn how production processes are being revolutionized with modern technology and virtual production techniques providing benefits such as real-time previz, virtual location scouting, and in-camera vfx. This course is designed to give students an introductory overview of the virtual production pipeline. Through lectures, demonstrations, and projects, students will gain an appreciation for the use cases, toolsets (including real-time game engines), preparation steps, and shooting process in a virtual production studio (also known as the volume). The class will culminate in the hands-on experience of shooting a project in the volume.
