An Actor Virtually Prepares (Actor training for virtual production)
The Virtual Production R&D Discovery Pilot enabled four creative businesses to spend 3 months developing new ideas in Virtual Production methods in collaboration with academic experts at Royal Holloway, University of London. VP and AI technologies are taking the sector by storm, creating a revolution in how content is made, and requiring new ways of thinking about skills, collaboration methods, workflows and approaches to story building.
R&D in acting/performing with Virtual Production technology
What impact does working in the new spaces of Volume LED and Hybrid Virtual Production have on actors and their performances? Cinematographer Peter Bathurst and theatre academics Dr Will Shüler and Professor Jen Parker-Starbuck will research this practically with actors by restaging narrative elements previously captured in ‘real world’ environments. This will help us understand the challenges inherent in these new forms and ultimately provide material for expandable workshops and short courses to help introduce these skills to other performers. This project will culminate in the creation of a ‘toolkit’ to help actors understand these spaces, navigate new and developing experiences, demystify the technology and jargon, and establish best practice.
