year on since our last virtual production special, we’re diving back into the world of VP this issue to explore the newest tricks and tools, get insights from industry leaders and celebrate the best in the biz in our Game Changer Awards 2025. Discover how Those About to Die brought ancient Rome back to life in the volume (complete with real horses!), hear about the next big VP leap and learn about leading training initiatives – plus lots more – in our Virtual Frontier supplement, from page 31. We also sit down with cinematographer Mandy Walker to hear about her work on Disney’s new live-action reimagining of Snow White (page 8), and chat vintage lenses and the art of building tension with Markus Förderer, DOP on September 5 (page 22). Elsewhere, we unpack the evolution of camera to cloud and take a deep dive into digital de-aging – speaking with experts about the techniques behind turning back the clock on actors. At this year’s BSC Expo, we had the pleasure of catching Aputure’s fantastic seminar about how we communicate colour. Featuring DOP Ed Moore and gaffer Chris Stones, it served as an interesting state of the nation on the matter of colour control on-set; read our key takeaways on page 60. We also investigate the gory VFX of The Monkey , kick off
our new AI series, preview this year’s NAB Show in Vegas and much more inside. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
