A presentation describing seven factors to consider during the writing process of micro-scripts (1-2 page screenplays) intended for virtual production filming. Topics include blocking, staging, camera movement, and other technical details, along with creative inspirations and using limitations as an advantage.

This chapter takes a closer look at the case of Amsterdam as a particular manifestation of a film festival city. Drawing from a new dataset on festivals in the Netherlands, the data supports the view of film festivals as a highly dynamic cultural sector: Internationally acclaimed film festivals exist beside smaller festivals that are more community bound; new festivals emerge annually, and young festivals struggle to survive the three-to-five-year mark.Amsterdam holds a unique position in the Dutch film festival landscape as a third of all film festivals in the Netherlands take place in the capital city. Our data collection helps to bring parts of the city’s film infrastructure to the forefront. On the one hand, Amsterdam’s top five locations for film festival events show clear creative cities logic: The data shows just how powerful the pull of such locations is. On the other hand, we find evidence of placemaking and livable city strategies: Amsterdam’s film festivals extend into the capillaries of the city.Dedicated festival datasets may cast new perspectives on local or national festival landscapes, by revealing patterns that remain hidden in qualitative and case-study based projects. But there are also challenges to address in data-driven research on festival cultures, we name a few such as categorization of data. We conclude that such challenges can be more easily faced if more datasets, of for instance, other cities, are pursued and become available.

Research related to the development and use of 'virtual production' technologies. The research relates to software and hardware solutions, and creative topics related to writing, filming, and performance on virtual production stages.
An Erasmus+ funded project in which universities from Denmark, Norway, and Portugal work alongside BUas to research and develop pre-preproduction teaching materials regarding the use of Virtual Production (VP) technologies. Lecturers and students from the consortium will get hands-on experience with BUas's XR stage, with the goals of collaboration and understanding of the needs of future media professionals.
