A new ‘movie magic’ lab in Dundee will help keep the UK at the “cutting edge” of visual effects technologies that are transforming the modern cinematic experience.
The lab in the city’s Water’s Edge facility will allow pioneering digital creation techniques such as those that brought Abba back to life through virtual avatars to be explored and harnessed.
The facility will be part of a coordinated UK Government-backed effort to revolutionise the UK’s film, TV and performing arts industries.
The state-of-the-art lab is part of the Creative Industries Sector Vision, published this week, which sets out the government’s ambition to maximise the growth of the creative industries by an extra £50bn by 2030, creating one million extra jobs and delivering a creative careers promise that builds a pipeline of future talent.
