Virtual Production (VP) technologies are being rapidly adopted in the film and television industries, giving directors full environmental control, minimising costs and bringing performances to life. As such, the demand for VP expertise has soared.
Recognising this need, MyWorld is pleased to offer two Virtual Production Skills Bootcamps, completely free of charge. These Skills Bootcamps are an opportunity for those working in the West of England’s creative industries (or looking to do so) to gain valuable new skills in VP and further their career development by accessing industry-relevant training.
The Skills Bootcamps have been funded by the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) and have been developed in partnership with employers to help fill local skills gaps.
