Typically, 20 students are grouped into teams of four to six and make two-minute shorts utilizing the LED Volume. “When we have a shoot, the stress is as equal as it is being on set.” NYU students Logan Lewis, Tommy Wu, Ryan Paz and Tech Instructor David Pyner on the VP set for ‘Distance Intimacy’ Since remote collaboration is increasingly part of virtual production, Bae believes today’s students need to learn to communicate efficiently that way. Through Visual Effects Oscar winner Rob Legato, Bae and Limoncelli met Noah Kadner of the Virtual Company, whose California-based LED volume was used for NYU’s class. It’s a global class that we’re building on.” Distanced Intimacy “We’ve had students from China, the Middle East and the West Coast. “By design, we’re keeping it remote,” says Bae. The lockdown challenged them to develop a remote collaboration approach that continues today. Even during COVID, Sang was running this class.” As she explains, “It’s a combination of live-action, animation and visual effects. Teacher Sang-Jin Bae developed the syllabus with Rosanne Limoncelli, senior director of film technologies. The recent announcement of a Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center – and a Virtual Production Master’s degree - are just the latest indicators of NYU’s embrace of high-tech filmmaking at its Tisch School of the Arts.Īlthough the Scorsese Center and MFA are still in development, Tisch has been offering a Virtual Production class for three years. Virtual production expert Noah Kander helps NYU students with their projects.
And each school is forging a distinct path. Increasingly, schools are integrating LED volumes with technologies like camera tracking, performance capture and real-time game engines - making the creation of in-camera visual effects more accessible to students than ever before.
Studio walls constructed from panels of light emitting diodes are key elements of today’s XR (extended reality) stages, where hits like Disney+’s The Mandalorian are made. If there’s a technology du jour in the growing trend of virtual production, it’s LED volumes.
