Stepping forward into virtual production: Embracing Emerging Technology in Film Production
In the field of entertainment, my role has been running a company producing interactive graphics and visual storytelling for the film and television industry for more than 25 years. Since the work we do has been tied to technology, it has always been a challenge to keep up with the latest hardware and software tools. For the past year, I have been engaged with the latest technology in film production called Virtual Production. My talk will focus on the key aspects of Virtual Production as well as the challenges of embracing discomfort when jumping from a relatively comfortable position to suddenly being immersed in a new environment with an unfamiliar risky emerging technology.
