The NYU Tisch School of the Arts, renowned for its innovative approach to arts education, is set to revolutionize its Masters of Professional Studies in Virtual Production. Starting in the spring semester of 2025, the program will integrate Runway’s advanced AI video tools as part of a pioneering course titled "Special Topics in Virtual Production". This introduction is anticipated to enhance students' understanding and application of generative AI in filmmaking.
Located at the newly established Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center, the course will run from January 2025 through May 2025. Under the expert guidance of Leilanni Todd, an acclaimed artist and key figure in Runway’s Creative Partners Program, students will have the opportunity to delve into the integration of AI throughout the filmmaking process, from initial concept development and previsualization to the creation of final thesis projects and personal work.
"This course will equip students with the state-of-the-art technology provided by Runway and prepare them for both their burgeoning careers in filmmaking and the ongoing technological transformations within the entertainment industry," said an NYU representative.
Applications for the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Masters of Professional Studies in Virtual Production program for Fall 2025 are now being accepted. Aspiring filmmakers and professionals eager to learn more or apply can visit the NYU Tisch Virtual Production website for detailed information.
