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 Studio Babelsberg will allow the participants to see the technology in use and ask questions first-hand.

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.

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

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.
