Generative AI for Virtual Production Filmmaking - free - (Host: Emerson College)

Saturday September 27, 2025 9:00am - 5:00pm EDT

Emerson College

Feedback Survey

Come view how generative AI is revolutionizing the film production process, with an interactive demo of virtual production technology using generative AI at Emerson College. In this interactive series of demos, you can see how generative AI is used to create virtual props, assist in the script production process, and enhance the virtual production experience to supercharge the future of film production.

We present a discussion on the benefits of implementing real time diffusion models into virtual production workflows to enhance the use of in-camera VFX for film-making and mixed reality media production. We will present three in progress case studies detailing the application of a real time stable diffusion model in a virtual production immersive environment showing that the benefits of generative AI for artificial set design, prop creation, and rapid prototyping for storytelling enable greater resource management in the film-making process.
