The technology of tomorrow's moving images

We are happy to welcome you to our Visual Media Lab Conference 2023!

This event is for all people interested in film, TV and the science behind moving images. For the creatives, technical pioneers and students who are looking forward to a career in those fields.

How will films and TV shows be produced with new technologies in the future? What new skills will we need in the process? How will virtual worlds, visual effects and animations be created and which experience and knowledge is useful in production? International speakers from the film & tv industry will discuss these questions during the event on the topics of virtual production, high dynamic range and wide color gamut.

Within 3 days you will learn from our top-class international speakers: Day one will cover the topics Science & Technology of High Dynamic Range in Live Broadcast from acquisition to distribution. There will be information on VFX in Extended Realities and Virtual Production Studio Setups on day two and the last day of part one of VMLC will discuss topics on Virtual Cinematography and LED-Lighting in Virtual Production. Each day will end with podium discussions with the speakers of the day or a cozy (virtual) fireplace get-together for inspirational chats. Please check out the timetable of each day for further information on the topics and speakers.

Pablo Garcia Soriano and Nick Shaw about the creation of the NBU-LUTs used for HDR-SDR simulcast In the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022. Christina Caspers-Römer and Christian Kaestner from the “1899” Netflix Series will speak about their studio setup and the challenges of Virtual Production.
