Join your fellow members of the Chicago Virtual Production (CVP) group for an exciting, hands on weekend of virtual production!

 

We’re thrilled to announce the CVP VP4U Camp, happening on Saturday, November 16th, and Sunday, November 17th!

 

Spend two days collaborating, creating, problem-solving, and exploring Virtual Production.

 

At this event, you’ll get to experiment with two independent virtual production setups, working alongside your peers to dive into the technology pipeline without the pressure of a client project.


Feel free to bring your own computer, a UE 5.4.4 environment, any virtual production experiments you're working on, or just come as you are!

 

We’ll provide the space, two test stages, and food for attendees. While this isn’t a formal class or workshop, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain experience from fellow virtual creatives as we explore different aspects of the VP pipeline together.

Each morning we'll start the day with a community discussion about virtual production in Chicago to help set our intentions and get everyone started for the day.

Green Screen Real Time Compositing Setup

Stage 1 will be a green screen setup with camera tracking that will allow

for testing real time compositing. 

Small LED Wall VP Setup

Stage 2 will be a 10' x 5.5' LED wall  to experiment with

tabletop and interview setups.

 

By the end of the weekend, we hope you leave with a stronger grasp of virtual production techniques and inspiration for your next project.

The cost?

 

It’s pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $20 to help cover basic costs of food and refreshments.
