The project involved the delivery of a set of intensive training activities dealing with the acquisition of skills and competences in new film technologies, such as stereoscopic imaging, augmented reality and visual effects, and their application in the context of the creative production of new filmic formats that cross live action, animation and virtual moving images. More recently, the project became an Erasmus + funded initiative (Agreement number – 2015-1-PT01-KA203-013112) and started to incorporate besides the training dimension, also the technical and artistic exploitation of different media’s, namely VR, potential to push the barriers of cinematic creativity.
