Open Broadcaster Software Takes Virtual Production to New Heights

On this week's episode of TECHnically Speaking, we chatted with producer Suzanne Willett and stage manager Samantha Stone about their recent work on a virtual production titled, Westerwynne. The show was performed using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) — a program which allows creators to marry live actors with virtual backgrounds for an immersive virtual experience. Go in-depth with us as we explore virtual production, OBS, and the challenges and successes that come with this rapidly growing performance platform.TECHnically Speaking is a public service of USITT, which seeks to have a broad conversation on topics of interest to its members, but it is neither a legal interpretation nor a statement of Institute policy.
