About the Talk:
REALTIME was challenged to create a cutting-edge virtual production workflow using Unreal Engine for Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder, one of the three special episodes commemorating the show's 60th anniversary.
With the return of the much-loved David Tennant as the Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna, the Tardis takes the Doctor and Donna to the further edge of adventure. To escape, they must face the most desperate fight of their lives, with the fate of the universe at stake.
