VIRTUAL PRODUCTION EDUCATION
SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FILMMAKING
Synapse Virtual Production builds bridges between academia and industry, empowering students, educators, and institutions to lead in real-time content creation.
Through long-term partnerships with top-tier universities and film schools, we provide access to state-of-the-art technology, tailored curriculum development, and hands-on training that prepares learners for the rapidly evolving demands of modern media production.
Our approach combines the structure of academic programs with the speed and innovation of the entertainment industry, helping institutions stay relevant, competitive, and future-ready.
CAMPUS VP INTEGRATIONS
We design and install cutting-edge virtual production environments tailored to each school’s goals—whether it's a full LED volume stage, a modular lab setup, or a hybrid facility designed for commercial and academic use.
These environments are more than just classrooms, they’re innovation labs where students, faculty, and production partners collaborate on industry-grade content in real time.
By co-locating education and production in one space, we help institutions generate revenue, build competitive advantage, and fuel curriculum growth.
