Over the course of three days, we will introduce participants to the educational design of the cineDESK workshops at our university. Participants will experience the cineDESK both from a student and a teacher perspective, thus gaining first-hand knowledge about its potential and limitations. Our developers and educators will be present throughout the workshop for one-on-one Q&As and technical/organisational discussions. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion about the usage of virtual production in film education.

Goals

  • Understand how cineDESK works
  • Know how to use motion capture for the cineDESK teaching workflow
  • Get to know the technical back-end (Unreal Engine)
  • Understand the specific requirements for implementation and maintenance at your school
  • Exchange ideas with fellow teachers for advancing novel methods in film education
