Virtual Production Today

In 45 minutes, Edward Dawson-Taylor from CG Pro shows what virtual production can do right now — from 2D plates and 2.5D layers through to fully rendered 3D environments, alongside newer approaches such as Gaussian splatting and AI-assisted content creation. All of it live on the LED wall with the tracked camera running. Less a lecture than a run through the possibilities: what the technology reaches today, and what that opens up for filmmaking. The aim is that the audience leaves with a real sense of what the medium is now capable of.
