AI-Enhanced Cinematic Virtual Production Workshop
Asia Campus

This hands-on workshop explores professional cinematic content creation by combining advanced AI technologies, motion capture, and real-time virtual production techniques. Participants will experience a digital production workflow, from creating 3D characters and environments to directing virtual scenes and producing high-quality cinematic videos. Participants will begin by creating 3D characters using generative AI and transforming real-world locations into digital 3D environments through Gaussian Splatting. These assets will then be integrated into Unreal Engine, a professional real-time 3D production platform.Next, participants will bring their AI-generated characters to life by applying previously recorded actor performances captured using Motion Capture technology. The animated characters will be placed within the reconstructed virtual environments to create dynamic cinematic scenes. A key highlight of the workshop is real-time Virtual Camera cinematography. Using virtual camera technology, participants will explore and film their digital scenes as if operating a physical camera on a real movie set. They will be able to monitor their shots in real time, experiment with camera movements, and direct their scenes interactively within Unreal Engine. Finally, participants will enhance their scenes through lighting, color grading, visual effects, and post-processing to produce polished, high-resolution cinematic videos.By integrating AI-assisted 3D creation, Gaussian Splatting, motion capture, and real-time virtual cinematography, this workshop provides practical experience with advanced production techniques applicable to digital media, animation, advertising, game cinematics, and creative visual storytelling.
