disguise launches free virtual production course

disguise announces the launch of Virtual Production Workflows, a free virtual production course available to anyone online on disguise Learn. The course was created by disguise experts after twenty years of experience helping to power virtual stages for Netflix and Amazon Prime shows, ITV and TUDN broadcasts, and more.

From designing a volume to ACES color management, Virtual Production Workflows will take creatives through nine modules tailor-made to enhance virtual production skills. The learning plan includes:

• Stage Setup for Virtual Production—learn to configure virtual production stages with disguise’s Designer software, including LED model integration and camera setup.
• Virtual Production Stage Calibrations—discover calibration best practices to optimize your virtual production setup.
• Color Management—a comprehensive introduction to color management in virtual production, including practical applications in Notch, Adobe, Davinci Resolve, and more.
• Mapping Types for Virtual Production—learn about Direct, Parallel, Feed, and Spherical Mappings, as well as advanced methods like MRSet and Mesh Mapping.
• Advanced Content workflows—explore cutting-edget content programming techniques including camera positioning and perspective mapping, and 360 workflows.
• RenderStream—learn how to use disguise’s RenderStream infrastructure to connect your physical stage to your virtual set.
• Data Management for Virtual Production—discover how to manage content including storage and retrieval to streamline virtual production workflows.

Creatives who complete the course will be awarded an online certificate, and for anyone who wants to go further by getting hands-on in a volume, disguise also offers the on-set Virtual Production Accelerator learning experience in LA, New York, the UK, and Barcelona.
