First Lusófona University VP Course

Firts Lusófona University Virtual Production Course

The launch of the virtual production course under the Cutting Edges program at Lusófona University brought students together in the new Eduardo Serra Studio, equipped with a 9x4-meter LED wall and advanced computer systems.

On September 23, 2026, the first unit of the virtual production course began. As part of the European “Cutting Edges” program — which aims to adapt and prepare the curricula of six European higher education institutions for the technological disruption driven by virtual production and artificial intelligence in the film industry — this course begins to disseminate knowledge and train new students in real-time technologies.

Set against the backdrop of Lusófona University’s new Eduardo Serra Studio — equipped with state-of-the-art computer systems and a 9x4-meter LED wall — students can experiment with and learn the intricacies of this art form under the guidance of João Aguiar and the instruction of David Stump and Rodolfo Anes Silveira.

This is a first step toward fostering and developing new skills in real-time composition of three-dimensional environments with live performance, and the first step in combating the decline of filmmaking skills in Portugal.
