Trainer: Andres Kõnno
Location: Fernando Lopes Movie Theatre
Target group: PhD candidates + 1 technical/infrastructure representative and 1 researcher per partner
Description: The seminar introduces a prototype for a metadata tool that is based on the film archive of Baltic Film, Media and Arts School. The tool reflects on approximately 600 films that are available online in the Estonian Film Database (www.efis.ee). We shall discuss the novel ways of doing artistic research that is based a) on the existing film metadata and importantly b) creating new metadata and using it for the sake of retrospective analysis of film data. Everybody is welcome regardless of their affiliation or research interest.

14.00 - 15.30 Collegium - Part I

This workshop offers a structured introduction to Virtual Production in a fully equipped studio environment, combining an LED wall, camera tracking systems, a Brain Bar control workflow, and Unreal Engine. The session explains what each component does, how they connect as a single real-time pipeline, and what changes when image creation happens live on set rather than in post-production.

Beyond the technical overview, the workshop frames Virtual Production as a research platform. It discusses how these tools can support artistic research - through new relationships between performance, cinematography, space, and lighting - and also technological inquiry - through questions of calibration, real-time rendering, colour management, latency, and workflow design. The goal is to give participants a clear conceptual map of the ecosystem and a set of research directions they can adapt to their own projects.
