Virtual Production: Past, Present, and Future
DescriptionMetropolis, Mary Poppins, The Matrix, and The Mandalorian all combine real foreground elements with virtual backgrounds to achieve their filmmakers’ vision. Today’s virtual production volumes combine traditional visual effects with lighting reproduction techniques, giving filmmakers even greater capability and control. And emerging machine learning techniques will allow the lighting of foregrounds and backgrounds to be harmonized near automatically. This talk will follow the thread of virtual production from the earliest days of cinema into the future of filmmaking.
