Erik Weaver
Head of Virtual & Adaptive Production
Entertainment Technology Center – ETC
Erik Weaver
Erik Weaver’s work sits at the intersection of AI-driven filmmaking and On-Set Virtual Production (OSVP), where he has pioneered new pipelines that integrate generative AI, cloud-native workflows, and virtual stage environments.
He has been a leading force in shaping how studios adopt OSVP—spearheading landmark shoots such as Fathead on Amazon Stage 15 and Europa on Sony Stage 7—while simultaneously advancing AI-native production with projects like ChickaBOOM (AI animation), Pathways (hybrid iPhone + AI backgrounds), and The Bends (fully generative).
His approach bridges practical production with AI augmentation, focusing on provenance, creative rights, and scalable pipelines that define the future of studio-level filmmaking.

David Bravo
Nací en Santiago de Chile en 1971. Me dedico a la fotografía desde finales de la década de los 80, primero como un juego, luego como reportero gráfico y después descubrí el cine.
Me desempeño como Director de Fotografía desde el año 1998. Ese año filmé mi primera película, Coronación, la que me permitió comenzar a consolidar mi oficio y por la que obtuve el Premio a la Mejor Fotografía en el Festival Internacional de Cine Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
Me he desempeñado principalmente en proyectos largos, como series de televisión, largometrajes de ficción y documental, donde he trabajado con distintos directores y equipos, y por los que he recibido algunas distinciones tanto en Chile como en el extranjero, lo que me hace sentir agradecido de trabajar en lo que más me apasiona.
El 2004 monté la casa Productora Blume Producciones, espacio que me brinda un piso de experimentación y desarrollo de otras áreas del audiovisual que me encantan: la postproducción de video y específicamente el oficio de Colorista. En este campo he participado en decenas de proyectos de distintos directores, principalmente en el género del documental y las series de televisión.
Con un ánimo permanente de reflexionar sobre mi trabajo, participo como docente en distintos cursos y talleres, como también pertenezco activamente a la ACC, Asociación Chilena de Cinematografía, espacio que potencia y promueve el desarrollo de nuestro oficio.

A forward-thinking Visual Effects Executive with a distinguished career at the intersection of entertainment and technology, I specialize in pioneering technological innovation and leading transformative initiatives. My expertise lies in integrating advanced technologies, including AI and bespoke product development, to redefine visual storytelling and enhance audience experiences.

What is Virtual Production?
Virtual Production is cutting-edge technology that is revolutionizing the audiovisual industry by offering a more efficient, cost-effective, and creative way to produce content. It combines real-time rendering, motion capture, and LED Volumes to create immersive environments, enabling filmmakers to visualize and modify scenes on set, streamline post-production, and enhance creative flexibility
Projects such as El Eternauta from Netflix have proved that the production costs can decrease up to 70% using Virtual Production at Latin American countries, compared to producing at Los Ángeles.
How is Latin America doing?
Latin America is rapidly emerging as a key region for virtual production, offering a powerful mix of creative talent, cost efficiency, and growing technical infrastructure. With a young and highly skilled workforce in areas like visual effects, real-time engines, and animation, the region provides an exceptional opportunity for studios looking to produce high-quality content while optimizing budgets.
Countries like Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Chile and Argentina are expanding their virtual production capabilities, supported by government incentives and international co-production agreements. This makes Latin America an increasingly attractive destination for global investment in immersive and cinematic content creation.
