The Creative Tech stream covers the UK production landscape, virtual production, and more
The Creative Tech programme for the Broadcast Tech Fest has been revealed.
Sitting alongside the Tech Innovation, TechHub, and Demo streams, the Creative Tech programme includes sessions spanning the production and post-production landscapes in the UK.
Following registration, at 10.30am the UK Production Landscape session sees Dean Webster, a senior producer for Ten66 Television, chair a talk between Argonon CEO James Burstall, Pulse Films head of production for scripted Bianca Gavin, and Twickenham Studios managing director Cara Sheppard on what the last year has taught them, as well as what they will take from it for the future.
This is followed up by a case study into the production of hit BBC drama Vigil at 11.20am, with post-production consultant Cara Kotschy speaking to Blazing Griffin colourist Colin Brown, cinematographer Matt Gray, Savalas managing director Kahl Hendersen, Goodbye Kansas VFX supervisor Jim Parsons, as well as director and executive producer James Strong.
Other sessions throughout the day include a look at how producers can make use of virtual production, a panel of leaders across the post-production industry, advice on diverse recruitment, and a state of the nation discussion on VFX in the UK.
