Digital Production Essentials

Available Again in 2025

With the development of digital production technologies and the innovation in the field of virtual production and visual effects, great majority of film and TV projects nowadays are created in digital workflow.


Planning such a production and post-production should start already in the early stage and in development. The workshop offers fundamental insights into the technologies and processes linked to digitally producing an audiovisual project as well as hands-on advice on implementing and benefitting from digital workflows at different stages of production.


Next to the theoretical and practical work in the group, a visit to the digital production facilities in a European film studio complex will allow the participants to see the technology in use and ask questions first-hand.

Study Visit 2023

LEDcave Berlin
LEDcave Berlin

LEDcave Berlin

LEDcave in Berlin is one of the world's most advanced virtual production studios, suitable for film, advertising, live events and more.

With additional studios in Mannheim and Cologne, the LEDcave framework expands the possibilities for creative work and lets teams leverage the power of virtual production intuitively. By producing in digital environments, uncertainty can be greatly reduced and cooperation between production team members is improved considerably. Through virtual production, more media is created in less time and post-production can be cut almost entirely.

During our visit, we will get to know more about the technology and possible applications for it.

The Case study 2023

All Quiet on the Western Front

Netflix's All Quiet on the Western Front, directed by Edward Berger, is a harrowing look at trench warfare during WWI. The film depicts the physical and emotional atrocities of war as experienced by young German soldier Paul Bäumer. 


The film is a multi-Oscar-winning production. It uses some of the newest technologies, to depict the horrors of the Great War.


Together with The Post Republic, we examine with this case study immersive sound and will dive deep into how this specific element of the film contributed to the final experience.
