The pandemic has supercharged virtual production. But, is this new technology for everyone or just Hollywood-budgeted movies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Virtual production is a catch-all phrase for all production with a virtual or CGI-based element. You could have explained it recently by saying anything that isn’t seen through the lens. But now, with virtual set technology, even that’s not true as live VFX is becoming the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, virtual production isn’t something to be frightened of. It’s actually a rich new avenue for careers in film production. There are now courses at schools like Met Film in London. Just Google “virtual production jobs” and see for yourself what’s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None other than Oscar-winning cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins<\/a> thinks that in ten to twenty years, movie-making will be mostly made of CGI-based humans acting within a virtual world, and you won’t be able to tell the difference. Everything else will be made traditionally with real actors within real sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with the help of game engines<\/a> and their unique way of manipulating polygons, VFX creation of backgrounds is being made before a frame is even shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the title Virtual Production, you can add volumetric capture, performance capture, virtual camera outputs like master wheels, pan, and tilt heads, and even the feel of a handheld camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of game engines, it’s now possible to affect lighting and feature different lenses from drop-down menus, perfect for cinematographers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
