“Filmmakers such as George Lucas (Star Wars: Episode I), Steven Spielberg (A.I.), Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), Robert Zemeckis (The Polar Express) and James Cameron (Avatar) initially embraced virtual production enhanced by real-time rendering.
In 2009, members from the ASC, ADG, PGA, ICG, and VES formed the Virtual Production Committee. The committee shared case studies about film and television projects leveraging virtual production and produced many of its initial definitions.
This field guide builds on the committee’s work along with recent advances in real-time computer graphics, which are making virtual production even more
accessible to filmmakers today.
