VIRTUAL PRODUCTION BURNOUT
Due to the lack of correct organisation in the old workflow, Virtual Production Crew work much more hours than any other film crew, are demanded more and are credited and respected less on set.
VIRTUAL PRODUCTION CREW MIGHT WORK 16 HOURS, 7 DAYS A WEEK
NATURAL SET STRESS + MIND AND BODY EXHAUSTION / WORK BECOMES LIFE
DROP OF TROUBLE SHOOTING CAPABILITIES AND CREATIVE PERFORMANCE
VP TALENTS LEAVE THEIR CAREER IN ITS EARLY DAYS, FOSTERING CREW SHORTAGE
THE NEW VIRTUAL PRODUCTION WORKFLOW AIMS AT CREATING BETTER WORK CONDITIONS BY DEVELOPING STRONG PLANIFICATION AND INTERDEPARTMENTAL WORK THAT HELPS TRADITIONAL FILM CREW MEMBERS UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE VP DEPARTMENT
VP CREW MUST FEEL THEIR HAVE A SAY AND ACKNOWLEDGED CONTRIBUTION IN THE FILMMAKING PROCESS
THEIR MOTIVATION IS A MUST
AS WELL AS THEIR WELL-BEING
