Virtual production training programme
After installing the Vanilla System rig at the LED volume of Sapienza Università di Roma for virtual production, we ran a training programme for their lecturers and for the people who use the studio, a five-day full-immersion course on how the whole stack works.
From A to Z, the full workflow and the right pipelines to work in a virtual production studio on an LED volume, especially with Vanilla System, and how to interface it with Unreal Engine directly. The syllabus covered:
- How the cameras work, including global shutter vs rolling shutter (whether the sensor captures the whole frame at once or scans it line by line).
- How an LED wall works and how it is set up.
- In-camera visual effects, where the final composite is captured live by the camera.
- Virtual production at large.
- Augmented reality.
- How to optimise an Unreal Engine project to run in real time on the volume.
- Lens calibration in practice.
Training is a core part of what we deliver. We run hands-on sessions for the technicians, with dedicated workshops on lens calibration, the full package.
