Sign up for SMPTE UK on-set virtual production event

Jan 26, 2022

SMPTE along with supporting partners 80Six, ETC, disguise, Solent University and head Sponsor Mo-Sys, are to host an exclusive and unique On-Set Virtual Production event.

This interactive 3-day hybrid event will provide attendees the opportunity to experience first-hand the intricacies of on-set virtual production in the context of a mixed reality set up within a ‘pop-up’ LED Volume built by the team behind Virtual Production Studios by 80six at ETC Playhouse in West London especially for SMPTE and its members.

You will experience a tour of the VP workflow for creating in-camera VFX (ICVFX), supported by cutting-edge technologies from 80six’ inventory: ROE Visual, Unreal Engine, Mo-sys camera tracking and Disguise media servers.

Lighting a production when using LED backdrops is undoubtedly a hot topic and debate right now given the lighting aspect of the LED itself. As part of this showcase, attendees will have the opportunity to discover the ground-breaking fos/4 range of luminaires from ETC that introduced a patented deep red emitter into the LED array, filling in a portion of the spectrum they did not realise they were missing – a must-see for the technologically-savvy and those with a passion and interest in lighting and colour.

The event will holistically showcase these cutting-edge technologies in a production-ready setting and will be globally live streamed on Wednesday 2 Feb at 7pm UK / 2pm EST / 11am PST for our international members, offering a tour of the technology, that dives into the key components of OSVP technology and ICVFX.

The global live stream will be in combination with an update from SMPTE’s Rapid Industry Solutions group and their latest work on OSVP including the groups recently awarded Epic Mega Grant. Last but not least, they will have an expert panel Q&A for both an in person and virtual live audience, where you can ask anything you want to know about OSVP.

Snacks and drinks will be provided throughout the three days. On Weds 2 Feb, a food truck and heated outdoor dining area will be provided. All of this courtesy of sponsor Mo-Sys.
