FRIDAY APRIL 29 @ 1PM
URBN CENTER SCREENING ROOM 349

Join us Friday, April 29 at 1pm in the URBN 349 Screening Room for an in depth introduction and discussion on Virtual Production!

Come learn about the basics of Virtual Production -what it is, what technologies are involved and how the workflow differs from traditional production.  We will also cover key roles within Virtual Production and what kind of training and experience is key for each.  There will be plenty of time for Q&A after!

This will be a unique opportunity to hear about Virtual Production directly from industry pros, as well as learn about the virtual production facilities here at Westphal and potentially get involved in launching a new student group connected to SMPTE to bridge the worlds of Cinema & Television with Digital Media to engage in this skillset that is experiencing dramatic growth and demand in industry.
