Session 3: Wee wisdom, whopping wins: Ask me anything from Europe's virtual production power experts

Picture This is proud to welcome back one of Europe's VFX and virtual production power experts Christina Caspers-Roemer plus special guests for a keynote and ask me anything (AMA) session on how to design, build, budget and operate VP for indie productions - and also when not to utilize it. Christina and yet-to-be-announced special speakers will share their wisdom across feature and series productions to provide the attendees with how to get the whopping wins in virtual and VFX-heavy productions.

In her presentation, Christina will walk the attendees through the essential "building blocks" that are indispensable for setting up and operating a VP stage, using examples from her day-to-day work. She talks about the do's and don'ts from the scripting phase through to production and the involvement of the necessary skills from set construction to VFX.

Furthermore, the attendees will find out more about the connections between the departments required for a virtual production and how these can be smartly linked and (cost) efficiently utilized, especially for indie productions.

In her position, Christina Caspers–Roemers is responsible for the day-to-day business across all ongoing and potential new productions from acquisition to final delivery. As technology in the film and especially post-production industry continues to evolve at an ever increasing speed, and audience watching habits change as well, the use of the most current technology is absolutely essential in order to be at the highest industry standard not only budget-wise but creatively as well.

Before re-joining TRIXTER, Christina was Managing Director of Dark Bay GmBH which is Europe's largest virtual production stage. Here, she oversaw the daily productions and supported and consulted shows from the scriptwriting process to the final image in all virtual production-related topics. The volume, one of the world’s largest LED installations, was used, among other things, for the filming of the Netflix series “1899”.

Additionally, Christina is Senior Advisory Board Member at the Institute of Immersive Media, which seeks to leverage the latest technology to industry leaders and festivals through education, innovative workshops, and collaborative experiences.

With a background in VFX and XR, Christina Caspers–Roemers has also worked on big blockbusters including ‘The Marvels’, ‘I am Groot’, ‘Black Widow’, ‘Loki Season 1 + 2’, and ‘Foundation Season 2’.
