Ream time 3D engines are now a mainstay if filmmaking, and in fact Dune’s cinematographer Greig Fraser described Unreal Engine and Unity as “the best training tools that I could possibly imagine” in our feature in filmmaking trends. But what skills do artists need to get on in film VFX and can game artists make the leap?
One person who knows is director of virtual production at Magnopus, AJ Sciutto. Magnopus is a pioneering studio that worked on the Disney+ AR short Remembering as well as specialising in virtual production using Unreal Engine. Fresh from the success of creating four virtual sets for Amazon’s hit Fallout TV series, I ask AJ what skills do artists need to have, or develop, to succeed in a real time filmmaking workflow?
