In events news, The Biggest Virtual Production Event Ever took place last Thursday, and it was certainly a sight to behind. We’d like to thank everyone involved included the students and faculty at LAMDA, as well as our sponsors and panelists. It was an incredible evening showcasing the power and versatility of virtual production. We hope everyone who attended learned a lot and had fun doing it.
