In this Talents Time with a discipline-specific focus on camera and lighting, you will have the chance to discuss your experiences as well as expectations regarding one of today's most cutting-edge innovations: wheras LED screen backgrounds and other mixed reality solutions for film sets might still sound like a far-away future to some, more and more see in them a sustainable addition or even alternative to the classical green screen, which can help to unleash creativity and make also smaller productions more cost-efficient and less harmful ecologically. Inspired through insights from current alumni projects and fuelled by the up-to-date expertise of the ARRI professionals, everyone in this Talents Time is invited to gain understanding about the status quo of the tech and feedback what’s necessary to break it down also to the realities of one own’s virtual and real worlds.
