Virtual Production - Minor
Virtual Production has become common in entertainment media production for films, television and commercials. Its use is expanding into other areas, including architectural/engineering visualization, manufacturing, product design, simulation and training, and live performances for music, theater and broadcast.
The curriculum provides a foundation in digital filmmaking, digital storytelling, visual computing, lighting, editing and cinematography.
Upon completion of the minor, students will be prepared to pursue production roles such as technical artist, lighting specialist, technical designer, digital asset artist within a virtual art department, virtual imaging technician or grip, and pipeline technical director. Graduates will be able to work fluently across hybrid soundstage and virtual production environments, integrating physical set practices with real-time digital workflows. They will be equipped to coordinate lighting, camera systems, in-camera visual effects and performance within unified physical–virtual stages.
