On stage virtual production has become a reality. It is opening the door to more fluid and imaginative, high-end live action/CG entertainment and is providing new solutions to physical, scheduling and budgeting challenges. Virtual production, however, represents a paradigm shift--it reconfigures workflows, redefines jobs and alters the collaborative process. How does virtual production impact filmmaking from previs, through on-set capture, to postproduction? In what ways does it enhance the creative palette? How does virtual production impact asset and data management and what new variables does it introduce? Filmmakers at the forefront of virtual production discuss their experiences merging live action, CG, previs and real-time technology on some of today's most innovative motion picture and TV projects. Produced in partnership with the Visual Effects Society (VES).
