July 21, 2020Real-time production is revolutionizing film and television pipelines across the globe. Whether it’s virtual production techniques that empower filmmakers to explore ever-more ambitious ideas, or final-frame animations rendered in real time for episodic TV and commercials, the way we create linear media content is changing.
With notoriously busy schedules, film, animation, and VFX professionals may find it challenging to invest the time required to make the transition from traditional pipelines to real-time production.
To help these storytellers extend their skill sets and embrace this brave new world, Epic Games is launching the Unreal Fellowship.
