The future of filmmaking? USC gets $25 million for virtual production center

The 15,000-square-foot facility is designed to accommodate two stages, each featuring LED walls encircling them. This space will serve as a hub for both students and industry experts to familiarize themselves with the latest virtual production technology. Additionally, it will be equipped with camera tracking systems, performance capture technology, and lighting equipment. The facility also includes classrooms and labs outfitted with computers loaded with real-time 3D design software and digital libraries of assets.

‘Countdown’ makes Los Angeles a prominent character — and it’s in danger

For Ackles, a seasoned TV actor with almost 30 years under his belt and roles spanning from portraying teen turmoil on “Days of Our Lives” to battling demons for 15 seasons on “Supernatural,” and more recently stepping into the role of superhero Soldier Boy on “The Boys,” finding Wilshire Boulevard closed down isn’t the most astonishing aspect of his latest project.

With ‘F1,’ mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer is still in the driver’s seat

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’d rephrase it like this: My wife presents me with these, and Bruckheimer speaks dryly about it.

Amidst neat stacks of daily newspapers like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times (which he still prefers to read in print), these pens seem to symbolize something deeply rooted within the legendary producer – a love for tradition, attention to detail, and an old-fashioned sense of order.
