Abstract: In this article, we explore how the recent proliferation of the virtual production stage with its promise of real-time visual effects has not only changed the working environment of the film studio, but also introduced an urgent need for new training and teaching approaches -- not only for current and future film students, but also for educators and practitioners. This case study examines a research project involving students from Ravensbourne University London, UK, in collaboration with industry partner Mo-Sys Engineering, a leading manufacturer of virtual production solutions. The complex demands of new, multidisciplinary job roles in virtual production have created a skills shortage in the UK film and television industry. We illustrate the challenges of training not only film students but also educators for a continually changing workplace dominated by disruptive technologies and shifting skill sets.
