PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Virtual production is reshaping how creative teams produce content by merging real-time 3D engines with live-action and digital workflows.

 

This course offers a hands-on understanding of how virtual production environments are planned and operated-from digital set construction to camera tracking and scene compositing.

 

Learners will explore how real-time tools and production techniques are integrated on-set to support storytelling, visualization, and collaboration across departments. The course also examines industry-standard practices, roles, and pipelines used in broadcast, film, and interactive media.
