Are you eager to dive into the world of Virtual Production but finding it hard to break into? 

Or perhaps you're already in the field but feel overwhelmed by the rapid advancements?

With SO much information out there, it can feel like you're standing at the edge of a vast ocean, trying to catch a wave with a teaspoon. It's overwhelming, confusing, and downright intimidating. 

One moment you've got a grip on the basics — and the next, there's a whole new software, a ground-breaking technique, or a revolutionary workflow.

And it's all too easy to feel outpaced, outsmarted, and outclassed.

The hard truth…

Aspiring tech artists get stuck. Trapped. Frustrated.

It's like staring at a locked door, knowing that an exciting world lies beyond, but lacking the right key to unlock it — unable to reach the creative freedom that drew you to Virtual Production in the first place.

And the casualty? Your creative spirit.

You began this journey filled with enthusiasm, eager to push boundaries, ready to unleash your imagination. But now? You're chained by the relentless pace of technology and the weight of information overload. 

Your eagerness has been replaced with exhaustion — and your excitement with anxiety.

Now imagine if you could…

  • Have a course that's not just about dry, boring theories but more about getting practical, hands-on experience. 
  • Enjoy a step-by-step, comprehensive program WITHOUT the overwhelm and confusion. 
  • Learn from a seasoned industry professional — who's been in the game for years and knows all the insider secrets.
  • Finally crack the code of Virtual Production beyond the basics AND confidently navigate its complexities.
  • Boost your career and get a leg in the industry, all thanks to your advanced skills and expertise.

 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

Course Outline

 Week 01

Set Preparation (VAD)

We'll kick things off with set design and set scanning, where we blend theory with practice. You'll learn scene setup, modeling tools, bridge, and Art Dept props. 

Then we'll dive into lighting techniques — everything from pre-light, light baking to dynamic lighting. We’ll also tackle how you can optimize your scene using mesh, texture, and shader optimization.

 Week 02

Color Grading and OCIO

This week is all about the hues and tones. We’ll learn about OCIO and color grading as the color management system required for high imaging, and how to set up levels for collaborative working. By the end, you'll be ready to create master scenes (animation and environment for shooting).

 Week 03

Stage Preparation & Team Work

Time to pull together the A-Team. We'll cover camera tracking (Vive/Oculus trackers), various version control systems (manage your digital assets), and show you the ropes of VR scouting in multi-user and remote sessions. Plus, we'll give you the inside scoop on different integration tools (Remote Control, DMX, Level Snapshot) for seamless real-time production.

 Week 04

Greenscreen Specific Stage Prep and Shoot

This week, we're turning the world green, figuratively. We'll deep dive into everything green screen — from inputs, composure layers, material function-based keyer, and image plate projection. And on top of it? We'll run through an example green screen shoot!

 Week 05

LED Wall-Specific Stage Prep and Shoot

Lights, camera, nDisplay! This week we're setting the stage with a dazzling LED wall setup. We'll navigate the nitty-gritty of nDisplay, Cluster setup, Switchboard, Live Link, and more. And guess what? We’ll run a full-scale LED wall shoot!

 Week 06
