VP Jam 2: A Virtual Production Hands-on Experience

4 Hours to See What You Can Make In Virtual

Most people's first time on an LED volume happens on someone else's clock, with a client watching and zero room to experiment. VP Jam is the opposite of that.

You'll join a small team, get a creative prompt, and have four hours to create it — shooting on a real LED volume. Each team will have their own section to film on so every team is filming all day, not waiting in line. Our virtual production experts who know the stage inside and out will be on set to assist and answer any questions you may have, so you'll spend the day making things, not troubleshooting them. We'll wrap with a showcase to see what each team has shot.

No virtual production experience required. If you've ever wanted to see how an LED volume actually works — as a director, DP, producer, editor, student, or the person who keeps watching BTS breakdowns at 1am — this is the lowest-stakes, highest-fun way to get your hands on one.

Your experience includes: 

• Getting up close and personal with the Midwest’s largest LED Volume for a hands-on experience
• Learning from and work alongside award-winning Virtual Production experts
• Battle-testing cutting edge VP workflows using the latest RED cinema cameras and and bleeding edge studio tech
• Meeting other Chicagoland creatives interested in virtual production and filmmaking

Only 18 spots available! Saturday, August 22, 10:00 am–2:30 pm at Forge Virtual Studios. $25 + fees.

Did you attend August's installment of VP Jam? This experience is still for you! We'll be handing out a totally different prompt this time, so if you're looking to sharpen your skills in another category of filmmaking, or you just had a blast last time this is another great event for you!

Grab a spot, bring your creativity, and come make something with us.
