Some Virtual Production testing in a LED Volume Stage. Even with simple setups its always pretty impressive seeing VFX directly in camera opposed to seeing mainly green, and having to imagine how it will turn out month later.
Wrapped lecturing my 2nd “Virtual Worlds” seminar at TH OWL University 🎓
We covered how virtual worlds are built for VFX, games, Virtual Production & AR/VR — from World Bible + concept to Houdini → Unreal real-time results.
Content:
Houdini Terrain Tools, procedural buildings, scattering/instancing
Copernicus procedural texturing
Houdini Engine for Unreal transfer
Unreal Nanite, PCG, Lumen, Sequencer + MRQ

Over the weekend I was invited to Warsaw, Poland by the Polish Society of Cinematographers (PSC) to talk about the current state AI tools in VFX. I didn’t sugarcoat anything, but instead put my finger quite deep into the wounds that a lot of current tools and models have. But also gave insights on how AI actually can already be leveraged for professional high quality productions. Also some quite interesting presentations from other speakers, especially @lumieredecinema & @bartenal_dp . The event took place at the TVN WARNER BROS XR Studio @tvnxrstudio with a gigantic LED wall and virtual production showcases.
Thanks to Arthur Reinhardt, @pscinematographer & @mattszy for inviting me.

Another VFX sequence from RAVE ON. A mix of lights shot through prism fx lenses, CGI and compositing was used to achive the trippy, meditative visuals.
Some behind the scenes from our RAVE ON shooting a club in Berlin. @maciejrolbiecki and I experimented with filming the club lights through various prism lenses to get crazy psychedelic effects. I also used a 360 camera to achieve some trippy fx and perspectives. Super fun ✨
Some more VFX scenes from my work for the feature film RAVE ON...

RAVE ON Coming to cinemas tomorrow!
As the VFX Supervisor, it was an exciting task to create the trippy visuals of the film. Loving techno and electronic music myself since a long time, this was particularly fun and relatable for me.

Had inspiring two days at the INPUT<>OUTPUT Symposium at @filmakademie_bw . I was invited to give a talk about AI tools in VFX with a focus on Nuke’s CopyCat. Exciting times I guess.
The other presentations were extremely insightful and on a super high level. Thanks to Luka Tisler, @mattszy , Max Penk, @theorocq , and @krauss.fr for the great talks.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking at the Deutsche Filmakademie @filmakademie about the use of AI, Machine Learning, and Nuke’s CopyCat in Visual Effects.
During my talk, I shared insights into general trends in AI/ML for VFX and delved into specific production use cases from my own experience. The event fostered an incredibly engaging atmosphere, with thought-provoking discussions and valuable contributions from the audience and other speakers.
A special shout-out to Markus Frank, Min Tesch @minteschvfx and Timor Kardum for their inspiring presentations and perspectives, which added depth to the conversation.
Many thanks to Kay Delventhal for organizing this event and spotlighting such an important and timely topic in our industry.
Looking forward to more discussions and collaborations in this exciting space!
