I n the space of a few short years, virtual production has revolutionised filmmaking, bringing about a monumental shift in the way that stories are conceptualised, created and experienced. Providing an ever-growing arsenal of tools and limitless creative opportunities, it’s far more than just a flashy trend – it’s reshaping the very fabric of our industry. In recognition of this, we’re thrilled to present Definition: The Virtual Frontier , a special inside this issue that explores the impact and potential of VP, as well as celebrating the individuals and companies at the vanguard. Turn to page 39 to dive into our 37-page supplement! As well as the bleeding edge, we’re exploring the history of cinema – and how to restore it to its former glory – with a look at the technical and creative nuances of 4K film restoration. Check out this month’s Def Guide (page 80) for insight from experts at Kodak, Cinelab and DIAMANT. Elsewhere, Laurie Rose, BSC offers up sage advice for navigating life as a DOP at any level, while Warwick Thornton discusses his preference for traditional techniques – and his experience of stepping into the daunting triple role of writer, director and cinematographer on The New Boy . We also immerse ourselves in the gritty glamour of seventies Miami with word from Griselda DOP Armando Salas, ASC, as well as hearing how Alejandro Mejía, AMC captured the vision for Sundance Grand Jury winner In The Summers . Veteran entrepreneur Michael Cioni gives us the lowdown on Strada, a potentially game- changing new AI-enabled cloud platform, plus we take the industry temperature on Sora, OpenAI’s divisive text-to-video model. Enjoy the issue – see you next month!
