Virtual Production Facts and Figures / Shooting Your Film or TV Series on 3D Sets

By

Nancy Fulton

Disney's Mandalorian and hundreds of other TV projects and films are being shot with the 21st century version of green screen which is called Virtual Production.  In this workshop you learn what virtual production is, the equipment involved in creating it, and why it's being adopted by independent producers as well as big studios worldwide.  

Topics addressed in this recorded workshop include:

• How to shoot your film and/or TV series on 3D sets in real time.

• Where to find off-the shelf pho

• Impacts on Competition for Distribution

• Production Budget Comparisons

• Working with real props on 3D Sets

• Specific cost savings in Development, Pre-Production, Production, Post Production

• Renting Virtual Production Systems and LED Screens

• Reasons for widespread adoption by both Studios and Indie Producers

• An overview of a $300K 2-Camera solution, including a list of hardware, software, installation, training, and support requirements.

• Why LED screens are not required for feature film and TV Virtual Production.

• The hardware and software required.

Virtual production is being widely adopted by production companies because it allows producers to shoot projects on green screen stages which are easier to keep safe than real world locations. They allow producers to shoot with smaller crews, and to shoot more pages every day. 

If you are a producer, screenwriter, or cast/crew working in film or television, this workshop covers information you need to know because the shift toward virtual production will have as big an impact on the entertainment industry as the shift from film to tape, or the shift from DVD to internet distribution of content. 

Immediately after you sign up, you get access to:

• Virtual Production Nuts, Bolts, and Costs (Video and Workbook)
• Shooting on Green Screen Made Easy (Video and Workbook)
• Virtual Production Fundamentals / Pipelines (Workbook)
• Creating Budgets and Shooting Schedules (Video and Workbook)
