From Concept to Screen: Virtual Production in Film and Television

An Interview with VFX / VP Supervisor Bryn Morrow of Steelbridge Studio

Bryn is a VFX Supervisor based out of Queensland, Australia. His training and experience as a Cinematographer, combined with his expertise as a VFX and CG Supervisor, provides a unique insight into live-action production and VFX workflows. Some of his film credits include:

In this interview, Bryn discusses virtual production on a volume stage. He specifically describes the workflow and relationship between post production and colour grading, how colour grading can be incorporated into the process, and what to look for when grading virtual production.
