VIRTUAL PRODUCTION SCHOOL (Copenhagen)

VP SCHOOL: PRODUCTION WORKSHOP / 4 - 8 MARCH

 
NTA Film & TV are excited to collaborate with FILMWORKSHOP / COPENHAGEN, Nordisk Film Foundatiom, AAU Copenhagen and Ardán to fund two Irish participants to attend the renowned VIRTUAL PRODUCTION SCHOOL: PRODUCTION WORKSHOP in Copenhagen.
 
The VP-school's Production Workshop is for Directors, Photographers, Editors, Lighting People/Gaffers, Set Designers/Production Designers, 3D artists, Actors and Producers 

Exploring the latest Virtual Production workflows, at this 5-day workshop, you will work hands-on based on your own experience / work area. 
 
You will be divided into a film team and where you will assume the role of your usual position but collaborate to create "Final-Pixels-in-Camera" and "In-Camera-VFX" scenes with virtual 3D locations as backgrounds. 
 
No technical prerequisites are required, as an experienced technical team is on board. 
 
The Producer Workshop and the Production Workshop are both part of the VP-SCHOOL, which is a project that has received support from the Nordisk Film Foundation. 
 
Based on the newly established rear projection studio at AAU, the project aims to introduce and train the talent team in the many aspects of the production form: budget, planning, production of backgrounds and effects, acting, photography and mastering. 

Instructors: Aishah Hussai and Mathias Ramsø Thomsen from Amunet Studio, Henrik Schønau Fog from AAU and Technical Manager from the Film Workshop Anders Bonde 
 
Please note that this workshop takes place at AAU - Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology: A.C Meyers Vænge 15, 2450 Copenhagen.
