BOOTCAMP No. 2 CREATE DIGITAL WORLDS
What Is It About
This bootcamp focuses on the creation, preparation, and optimisation of digital environments for virtual production. Participants learn how assets, environments, and data are developed for LED stages and real-time filmmaking, with Generative AI integrated into Unreal Engine workflows. The programme covers the full content pipeline, from concept development to on-set readiness.
Participants will:
- Create and optimise virtual production–ready assets and environments
- Integrate Generative AI tools into real-time Unreal Engine workflows
- Understand performance, scale, lighting, and colour constraints for LED volumes
- Build structured data and versioning systems for flexible on-set use
- Prepare multiple visual variations for live production scenario
Each participant receives a Certificate of Professional Competence in Virtual Production, aligned with the focus of the bootcamp.
