Virtual production is all the talk in the screen industry right now. It gives us the ability to mix virtual craft with the live-action elements on set, and the opportunity to create extraordinary visual landscapes that truly push the boundaries. In the words of AFTRS virtual production and visual effects expert Krista Jordan, “we can tell stories that we haven’t previously been able to tell in the same way.”
At Open Day this year, ABC Weekend Breakfast visited our campus to see our virtual production set up in Studio 1, featuring our mighty LED Volume. Krista spoke about the benefits of the technology and its implementation in productions such as Hollywood blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder and ABC series Fires.
In our Intro to Volume Studio Basics short course, you can witness the impressive LED Volume yourself and discover the awe-inspiring capabilities of virtual production. Lead by Krista, this two-hour seminar session is the perfect introduction to the emerging roles in this space, providing a platform for producers, cinematographers, production designers, directors or visual effects artists to continue learning. Join us Thursday, 19 October on campus and kickstart your virtual production journey.
In virtual production and across a variety of screen productions, the role of a producer is critical to overseeing a successful project from start to finish.
