Virtual production in the audiovisual sector has established itself as an emerging field that requires specialised knowledge and mastery of a workflow based on innovative, scalable, and adaptable technologies applicable to a wide range of industries, including film, advertising, and video games. However, what makes virtual production truly unique is not only the use of new technologies, but also the way in which they are applied differently from conventional production methods. Tools such as game engines, tracking systems, virtual reality, augmented reality, and digital workflows have been adapted to support entirely new creative and production processes. In addition, generative AI is also becoming an integral part of this landscape. This evolution has led to the emergence of new professional profiles that combine technical and creative skills to meet the growing demands of the industry.

The Microcredential in Virtual Production. Stagecraft with Unreal Engine and LED Screens provides specialised training in these applied technologies, with a practical approach and the opportunity to gain hands-on experience on a professional film set. The programme covers the entire workflow associated with virtual content production, combining practical sessions and teamwork at the Terrassa Film Lab – Parc Audiovisual de Catalunya, an innovation and prototyping laboratory for technology-based audiovisual projects.
