Besides, in AIE the only one is used Technodolly permanently available in Australia for motion control, which is used in all films with LED volume, while the visualization software is Unreal Engine.

The AIE Film School offers the world's first full-time two-year course that integrates virtual production technologies for film learning, including preview, virtual exploration techniques and virtual production shooting, in which real-time environments are used that provide graduates with the necessary knowledge demanded by the industry.

“To get started in virtual production you have to learn new techniques, and there is no better way to acquire them than on a real virtual production set - says Guo., in addition to working with cutting-edge technology, as with Liantronics Led panels and Brompton processing”.

“It's great that world-renowned educational organizations, like AIE Film School, integrate virtual production technologies into their film courses. This shows students that there is nothing to fear from this new technology.. In fact, can become a new access route to film production, and we are delighted that they have chosen our Led processing”, concludes Luke Hurford, Brompton Technology Asia-Pacific Technical Director.
