T he Mandalorian in 2019 opened everyone’s eyes to what virtual production was capable of, and pretty much since then it’s been boom time on VP. But what are the limitations of this technology? What’s the learning curve like for new adopters? And how sustainable is it – really? As virtual production reaches maturity, we look at the lay of the land and consider what’s coming next with help from a round table of experts on page 32. Also in this issue, we go behind the scenes on The Creator, one of the most anticipated films of the year. Set in a war-ravaged future amid a battle between humans and AI (a conceit beginning to feel a teensy bit too close for comfort…?), this man versus machine masterpiece is poised to embed itself firmly in the sci-fi canon. We sit down with cinematographer Oren Soffer to discover the unique collaboration that went into making the magic on page 14. Other production stories in the spotlight include BBC/Hulu’s Great Expectations, plus Netflix’s Sex Education, which recently reached its climax with the release of its fourth and final series. With a hard-to-place transatlantic look and a nod to John Hughes teen-flick nostalgia, the show’s unique aesthetic has become its calling card. We hear from members of the production team to learn how it all came together on page 46. We also chat to social media VFX sensation Brandon B, get the lowdown on upcoming shows like NAB New York, and bring news of the latest and greatest gear in our Toolkit section. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
