Thank you KPIX San Francisco!
RVPA Faculty Lead: Sahra Bhimji
Diablo Valley College Professor of Film Production Sahra Bhimji, recently orchestrated an enriching experience for her Virtual Production class as they embarked on a visit to KPIX San Francisco. Sahra expressed her excitement, stating, “Yesterday, I got to bring my Virtual Production to KPIX San Francisco (CBS News) to see their new virtual production set up and get a tour from their creative director, Jack Poorman.” The visit provided students with a firsthand look at how virtual production is revolutionizing television news, allowing them to interact with professionals including meteorologists, news anchors, and camera operators. A highlight of the trip was witnessing themselves on the “real-time” weather set and map, offering a captivating glimpse into the future of broadcast media.
This immersive experience not only broadened students’ understanding of virtual production but also provided invaluable insights into its practical applications in the industry. Sahra Bhimji’s initiative in organizing such visits underscores RVPA’s commitment to offering students hands-on experiences that prepare them for the dynamic landscape of media production.
