Turning Up the Volume: Five Popular Virtual Production Classes Across the U.S.

Congrats to Professor Sang-Jin Bae, whose class, Introduction to Virtual Production, was one of five virtual production classes reported about in Animation Magazine.

The recent announcement of The Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center, a Virtual Production Master’s degree — are just the latest indicators of NYU’s embrace of high-tech filmmaking at its Tisch School of the Arts.

Although the Scorsese Center and MFA are still in development, Tisch has been offering a Virtual Production class for three years. Teacher Sang-Jin Bae developed the syllabus with Rosanne Limoncelli, senior director of film technologies.  As she explains, “It’s a combination of live-action, animation and visual effects. Even during COVID, Sang was running this class.”

The lockdown challenged them to develop a remote collaboration approach that continues today. “By design, we’re keeping it remote,” says Bae. “We’ve had students from China, the Middle East and the West Coast.  It’s a global class that we’re building on.”
