This week we were introduced to virtual production tools in Unreal Engine. We learned how to use the Unreal VCam system, which allows a smartphone to function as a virtual camera and communicate directly with Unreal Engine through Live Link.
During the session, we explored how camera movement could be controlled by physically moving the phone. This enabled us to create more natural handheld camera motions and experiment with virtual cinematography inside Unreal Engine. The exercise helped me gain a better understanding of virtual production workflows and how real-world camera movement can be translated into a digital environment.
