CG Pro is a fantastic school teaching virtual production to current and future industry pros. For this event, they reached out to S4 Studios to supply our new S4 ICVX Virtual Production stage and technicians to lecture and demonstrate the procedures needed to operate a Virtual Production stage on a daily basis.
The first half of the day was instructed by Scott Rosekrans head of Real-Time at Zoic Studios. Instruction was dedicated to LED Wall Tech procedures and how to operate Unreal projects, nDisplay and more while taking direction from the Director and DP. Students had a chance to jump on the “Operator” workstation and manipulate the virtual world which is the whole point of using this kind of tool.
The second half of our day was lead by instructor Erik “Wolfie” Wolford featuring cinematography for lighting on a Virtual Production stage. Starting with how to program and set up lights for the foreground real world elements to preventing light spill onto the wall and color matching. How to marry the real world stage to the virtual world for a perfect shot.
CG Pro is an authorized Unreal training center employing veteran instructors who are currently working in the Entertainment Industry focused on games, film and broadcast courses using real-time and traditional CG software.
We can’t give enough thanks to Jackie Cooper and Edd Dawson-Taylor, founders of this great Virtual Production School and are very pleased to be part of the CG Pro family to grow, collaborate and succeed with this great group of industry professionals!
