Overview

This course covers the real-time technology that is offering new possibilities for VFX in initial planing and preparation, on-set production, as well as postproduction. Students will explore the technical processes used in incorporating the virtual reality toolset for previsualization and real-time lighting and integration. Lectures will address realtime tools such as the Unreal Engine, virtual cameras and tracking software and demonstrate how they can be leveraged as a tool for cinematography. Students will compete a series of weekly projects to further their understanding of this expanding toolset and work towards a final project for review.
