Virtual Stage Essentials, Mobility & Safety

Remote Control: The Virtual Production Conference Live on October 1, 2020. After months of re-imagining, rebuilding and troubleshooting, new concepts around remote production and collaboration have taken shape. We’ve asked several industry leaders to give you their insights and lessons learned, in short and sweet presentations. Sam Nicholson, ‪@stargatefilms‬ , and Michael Mansouri with Radiant Images join our program live from their studios in this episode to demystify virtual sets and how productions are capturing final pixel on set with LED walls and even 4K TVs. Armed with BTS from popular shows, they'll reveal how they did it. For our second presentation, we welcome Gary Radburn of Dell on hand to show the very best in cloud computing, VR and AR, and show you how to remain productive and efficient in the next normal. Finally, Ramy Katrib and Andrea Aniceto-Chavez from Digital Film Tree demonstrate SafetyViz and how this technology is being used to safely return to media production.
