INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL PRODUCTION COURSES
AUDIENCES
Professionals in the Nordic Film/TV sector are the target audiences for two new courses developed in the IVPC project. One course is introducing the concept of virtual production and the other introduces the measures for CO2 reduction that virtual production enables. Both courses are designed for producers, directors, cinematographers, and production designers.
COURSE A: Conceptual Introduction to Virtual Production
Course A is a specialised course in the arts that offers a conceptual introduction to virtual production.
The course is designed for producers, directors, cinematographers, and production designers who have advanced knowledge of traditional film or TV production and basic knowledge of digital workflows in film or TV production. Participants should also have an idea of interdisciplinary innovation routines, agile collaboration methods, and VFX processes. The course will equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to apply virtual production conceptualisation and design methods to their own pre-production processes. Participants will also learn to analyse key benefits and challenges of virtual production in context of traditional workflows and compare virtual production workflows to other relevant digital workflows in film or TV production.
The course will cover key concepts such as real-time digital visualisation for film and TV, interactions between digital and physical sets, and test-based and agile development. Participants will also learn about key processes, including collaborative previsualisation and interdisciplinary collaboration across film/TV, digital arts, and games disciplines. Additionally, they will develop key skills and knowledge in process management in the context of virtual set pre-production and recordings, as well as production design in the context of virtual set definition and recordings. Also, the course introduces processes connected to digital asset production in the context of virtual set pre-production and introduces game engine operation in the context of virtual set pre-production and the use of a game engine during recordings.
COURSE B: Virtual Production CO2 Reduction Measures
Course B is a specialised course in the arts aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to reduce CO2 emissions in film and TV production. The course is open to those participants with advanced understanding of traditional film / TV production, a basic understanding of digital workflows, and an introductory knowledge of VFX- and virtual production processes.
During the course, participants will learn about CO2 emission-reducing measures, including how to calculate CO2 emissions and investigate how artistic expression interacts with CO2 reduction practices. They will also learn to compare Virtual Production to other workflows in film or TV production in the context of CO2 reduction. Participants will gain practical experience in analysing the consequences of applying more.
