Sundance Institute's Story Forum: Exploring Art and Innovation is a space to learn, collaborate, and join the conversation; inviting thoughtful dialogue about the artist-first tools and technologies supporting visual storytelling today.
Virtual production (VP) offers filmmakers a new avenue to achieve high production value on a smaller budget. In this immersive introduction to the technology, viewers receive a virtual tour of Studio Ulster, one of Europe’s most ambitious VP studios located in Belfast, Ireland. Representatives from Studio Ulster discuss the benefits, logistical issues, and challenges unique to VP. Viewers also hear from independent producer Jamie Harvey on his honest experiences working with VP. This session offers an informed, on-the-ground exploration of VP for independent filmmakers curious of the new technologies, including: LED volumes, real-time engines, camera tracking, in-camera VFX (ICVFX), and motion (or emotion) capture (MOCAP).
Featuring: Alyssa Boyle (Head of Commercial Operations, Studio Ulster) and Declan Keeney, PhD, FRSA, SFHEA (Co-Founder and CEO, Studio Ulster)
Moderated by Niamh Gormley (Community Leader, Sundance Collab) Community Leaders are a group of trusted volunteers who offer their time and talents to support fellow Sundance Collab members on their creative path through the platform.
