In the age of innovation, the film industry has experienced significant changes in its production infrastructure due to the influence of creative thinking and innovative technologies. Virtual productions in particular have come to the forefront by offering significant solutions to producers in terms of time and budget in the production processes of films. Although these productions are similar to traditional visual effects applications, they have an innovative and progressive structure due to their rapid adaptation to today's artificial intelligence technologies. In this study, the historical development and technological infrastructure of virtual productions have been examined through a literature review, and the effects of artificial intelligence technologies on film production processes have been discussed in a descriptive manner. In the examinations conducted with the descriptive analysis method, the creative solutions offered by artificial intelligence in the technical tools and software used in virtual productions have been clearly revealed. These solutions have been effective in areas such as motion tracking and control of camera-light systems, realistic design and implementation of spaces that create the atmosphere of films, and instant animation of virtual characters in a studio environment. This study provides important findings to understand how virtual productions have transformed with artificial intelligence technologies and how they contribute to film production processes.

Yaratıcı endüstriler bağlamında sanal prodüksiyonlarda yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin boyutları üzerine bir inceleme

Öz

İnovasyon çağında kreatif düşüncenin ve yenilikçi teknolojilerin yörüngesinde gelişim çizgisini sürdüren ve yaratıcı endüstrilerin önemli bir aktörü konumunda olan film sektörü prodüksiyon altyapısını oluşturan faaliyet alanlarında radikal değişikliklere gitmiştir. Bu süreçte sanal prodüksiyonlar, filmlerin üretim süreçlerinde zaman ve bütçe olarak yapımcılara sunmuş olduğu fonksiyonel çözümlerle ön plana çıkmıştır. Sanal prodüksiyonlar teknolojik olarak bir takım geleneksel görsel efekt uygulama setlerinin bir tür takipçisi olmakla beraber, günümüzün yapay zekâ teknolojilerini içeren uygulamalara hızlı adapte olması bakımından yenilikçi ve inovatif bir kimliğe sahiptir. Bu çalışmada sanal prodüksiyonların tarihsel süreçteki gelişimi ve teknolojik arka planına ilişkin literatür taraması sonucu elde edilen bilgilerden yola çıkılarak, sanal prodüksiyon ortamında yapay zekâ teknolojilerin kullanımının film yapımına etkilerine ilişkin açıklayıcı ve betimleyici bilgilere ulaşılmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada betimsel analiz yöntemi ile sanal prodüksiyonlarda kullanılan teknik araçlar ve yazılımlarda yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin etkisi incelendiğinde, belli başlı konularda yaratıcı çözümlerin sunulduğu tespitine varılmıştır. Bu çözümler özellikle sanal prodüksiyonlardaki kamera-ışık sistemlerin hareket takibi ve kontrolü, çekilen filmlerin atmosferini oluşturan mekânların gerçekçi bir şekilde tasarlanarak canlı bir şekilde uygulanması ve sanal karakterlerin animasyonlarının anlık olarak stüdyo ortamında gerçekleştirilmesi gibi süreçlerde kendisini göstermiştir.
