NYU Tisch School of the Arts is incorporating Runway into their Masters of Professional Studies in Virtual Production program as part of a new course offered during the 2025 spring semester. The course, Special Topics in Virtual Production, will give students access to Runway’s suite of AI video tools and will empower students to explore how generative AI can be integrated into various parts of the filmmaking process - from concepting and previsualization to the students’ final theses and personal work.

Special Topics in Virtual Production will be held at the newly opened Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center from January 2025 through May 2025. The course will be taught by Leilanni Todd, an award winning artist and member of Runway’s Creative Partners Program.

This new course will arm students with Runway’s state of the art technology and will prepare them for both their filmmaking careers as well as technological shifts that will continue to shape an evolving film and entertainment industry.

NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Masters of Professional Studies in Virtual Production is now accepting applications for Fall 2025. To learn more and to apply please visit NYU Tisch Virtual Production.
