Overview of the Digital Hollywood University Graduate School

Digital Hollywood University Graduate School, the first specialized graduate school in Japan organized as a corporation, is committed to producing leaders who integrate the four elements of SEAD (Science, Engineering, Art, Design) with a focus on digital communication. On February 28, 2026, the school hosted its annual achievement showcase titled "VERBALS. DHGS the DAY" via YouTube Live, where students presented their research outcomes.

The live stream was held at the latest live-action compositing studio "Dスタ (Digital Hollywood Virtual Studio)," which is set to officially open in April 2026. This event served as a pre-opening demonstration, utilizing large LED screens meant for virtual production as background monitors for the students' presentations. Unique to this event was the aspect of validating the angles and compositions of the streamed visuals ensuring they would be effective when extracted as still images.

Many viewers from the school community and beyond tuned in to watch the live presentations, which culminated in an exhilarating showcase of creativity and talent. Highlights from this event have now been compiled into a digest video, along with exclusive interviews with the MVP honorees of the day. Additionally, an archival video featuring complete presentations from all participants has been made available for those interested in revisiting the day's highlights.
