Virtual production is poised to create a major paradigm shift in the world of entertainment. With more and more major Hollywood productions utilizing virtual production techniques, it is extremely important that the next generation of filmmakers is taught using the tools of tomorrow. This course provides first-time production students with a solid foundational understanding of the tools and techniques being used by cutting-edge filmmakers, such as pre-visualization and motion capture.

Students will spend a large portion of the course working hands-on with Unreal Engine 4, a state-of-the-art 3d world-building tool that is currently being used by many of Hollywood’s top filmmakers to make feature films and television shows.

Students will learn how to build worlds from scratch populated by scenery and assets. This course relies heavily on small-group workshops to facilitate projects and allow for maximum one-on-one interaction between the instructor and students.
