The three-day training course aims to provide a comprehensive and hands-on education in Virtual Production and Unreal Engine, covering everything from the basics of the technology to advanced techniques and best practices. This training will be suitable for professionals and enthusiasts alike who are looking to expand their knowledge and skills in this exciting and rapidly growing field.
Participants will leave with the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience to create, direct, and produce their own Virtual Production projects.
There are six Modules in total, two per day - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The structure of the sessions may change due to skill set and or actual numbers enrolled for the course. This would mainly impact the final session on the third day.
