I'm excited to share an update on The Last 48, a groundbreaking Virtual Production endeavor where I've been actively involved as an environment artist! Our team utilized assets from the Unreal Marketplace to construct a bunker scene for our set. We meticulously optimized the scene for virtual production to achieve our desired frames per second. Along the way, we received extensive feedback from our virtual art directors, which greatly influenced our progress.

This journey wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional teamwork and collaboration. I want to extend my gratitude to our talented 3D team members who worked tirelessly alongside me.

“The Last 48” is an ICVFX Virtual Production collaboration between Humber College’s Film and Television Production Advanced Diploma program and the Animation 3D Advanced Diploma program, shot at the LED Volume at Humber College’s partner William F. White International Inc. – in the WFW TechLab. Led by faculty Dr. Eva Ziemsen (film/VP) and Cory Avery (3D), with support from industry mentors Jun Li (VP TD), Sehba Wakil (3D) and Sheida Sims (VAD), the students have been working on this project for several months of development and pre-production and are currently in production. We want to thank Miranda Binsley and Yi Man and the entire team at William F. White International for their on-going support and collaboration. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes posts and eventual trailers of the production. The final project will play as the interstitials at the students’ final screening and will also be distributed as a ‘stand-alone’ film to festivals.

Picture is of the first of two stage set ups. This depicts the set and environment of the “Editing Bunker”.

Synopsis:
With only 48 hours remaining until picture lock, John and his AI assistant are tasked with completing the edit for the movie, Absence. Upon deactivating the AI assistant due to constant workflow interruptions, John discovers that the AI has ulterior motivations of its own. After waking up in a mysterious desert, John is left at the mercy of the AI as he attempts to reclaim control over the project, and his own body.
