Serbia Film Commission is launching a new program for education of young creatives through a series of modular, hands-on trainings focused on acquiring contemporary skills in motion capture, digital character creation, immersive sound and virtual environments. These skills are applicable not only in film and video games, but are increasingly becoming part of modern production in theatre, concerts, exhibitions and immersive experiences.
Led by the Ložionica team and in partnership with Centroid London, the Creative Engine project is opening call for applicants to young creative producers, actors, directors, sound designers, and 3D generalists to participate in a program of short collaborative trainings through the production of immersive content. Carefully designed workshops, developed in partnership with the expert team of Matteriya Talent Development, combine artistic expression with cutting-edge technology, enabling young creatives to build careers in a sector that increasingly relies on virtual production, MetaHuman(s), and real-time rendering.
Within a series of five educational modules, participants will have the opportunity to gain practical skills in motion capture acting, digital character creation, immersive sound design, and digital twinning in Unreal Engine. All skills and tools provided to young creatives can be implemented in contemporary theatre, music, dance performances, exhibitions and live events. The goal of the project is to enrich the regional creative and cultural production landscape with new digital tools and support career development in innovative stage and audiovisual projects.
Open calls for applications:
- Intro to Immersive & Hybrid Event Production Pipelines open until December 21st
- The MoCap-Ready Performance Techniques open until December 21st
