VP Masterclass for producers

– workflow, budgeting and scheduling for Virtual Production

Produced by Kulturakademin in collaboration with VP Nordic and Film i Väst. Supported by Film i Skåne, Västra Götalandsregionen and Region Halland

Description

In the past years, Virtual Production has suffered from a non-realistic marketing campaign, where the hype and the promises, have created a wrong understanding of the real possibilities of this new way of making films. This has affected the initial decision-making when budgeting and scheduling for virtual production that creates a snow-ball effect on the rest of the production. Agustin Cossa will delve into the reality of the production for VP showcasing a three-tier production template that can be used to frame the many different challenges of virtual production into a scheduling and budgeting approach with guaranteed predictability and assurance transforming VP into a real cost-effective and traditional-centred way to making VFX.

" If planned accordingly, virtual production is a tool that allows a much more traditional filmmaking exercise for VFX, keeping the teams small, with direct communications and a much more dynamic workflow"
