SUMMARY:Pedagogical strategies for teaching Virtual Production pipelines
DESCRIPTION:Educator's Forum\n\nGregory Bennett, Hossein Najafi, and Lee J
 ackson (Auckland University of Technology)\n\nThe incorporation of LED wal
 ls and virtual production tools in the film industry is a recent developme
 nt that has significant pedagogical implications (Blistein, 2020; Farid & 
 Torralba, 2021). The use of LED walls combines physical and digital realit
 ies, potentially reducing post-production time and resource usage (Ong, 20
 20). Virtual production can facilitate immediate on-set decision-making an
 d mitigate the need for certain post-production adjustments (Epic Games, 2
 020). MIT researchers posit that such practices may also reduce the carbon
  footprint associated with location filming (Farid & Torralba, 2021). None
 theless, further research and innovation are needed to overcome any limita
 tions and fully harness the potential of this technology.\nThe utilization
  of Unreal Engine software and other real-time tools in visual effects edu
 cation aligns with industry trends and enhances student preparedness for p
 rofessional practice (Fleischer, 2020). It has been suggested that engagin
 g students with these tools can foster an understanding of the virtual pro
 duction pipeline, thus aligning the educational curriculum with evolving i
 ndustry standards (Balsamo et al., 2021).\nAs educators at Auckland Univer
 sity of Technology, we recognized the necessity of early integration of th
 ese paradigm-shifting tools into our curriculum to prepare students for im
 pending and ongoing industry changes. In anticipation of procuring LED wal
 ls, we explored the potential of leveraging existing resources to initiate
  a pedagogical foray into the virtual production sphere. The available res
 ources encompassed a large green screen studio, a motion capture studio, a
 nd virtual reality (VR) headsets and trackers.\n\nRegistration Category: F
