Advantages virtual production

Anywhere In The World

By shooting the scenes you want to shoot anywhere in the world in a single location with virtual production technology to minimize the cost and prevent budget explosions.

Realistic Lighting

With our LED backwall on the LED ceiling and 2 movable led panels on the stage, we offer natural stage lighting with realistic lighting.

Environmental Control

Fully freedom of designing scenes and environmental control Freedom in the 3D scene you want, the opportunity to control every dynamic within the 3D scene, such as the weather and seasonal conditions and even the golden hours during the day.

Supernatural Design

Unreal Engine environmental design and possibility to build virtual worlds. Possibility to construct and shoot virtual scenes/worlds such as supernatural or unreal environmental design or metaverse universe.

Safety

Possibility of shooting dangerous scenes in succession, without the need for a stunt or preventing the actor from being harmed.

Need for any green screen

Being able to see the scene in real time and faster shooting time. Actors can see the environment and scene in real time without the need for any green screen, making the job easier for the actor.

Carbon

Reducing/preventing carbon emissions.

How to use the full potential of Virtual Production?

If you are planning to use Virtual Production in your film production, there are some rules to make your project look better. VP will not replace traditional shooting completely, but for many situations, you can achieve a similar effect, and for many more, much much better.

Firstly, we need to understand that VP is not just a background. The whole virtual scene should act like a physical set design. Computers generate an image for a specific camera position when the camera moves. So, when you think about virtual location, treat it like a physical set just behind the LED screen. You can also set up the light in a virtual part like in a traditional film set.

If you understand what is possible in Virtual Production, you can achieve far more impressive results. The biggest investment goes into technology such as LED screens and render nodes, while virtual locations are much more cost-effective than physical sets. Once you choose a virtual studio, you can push your project beyond its usual limits.

Virtual Production is not just about lowering costs; it expands what you can shoot. Without the material and construction limits of physical sets, you can create bigger and more spectacular scenes. You can use expensive surfaces like gold or marble, or build structures that would be impossible in the real world. You only pay for the work of Unreal Engine artists.

Virtual Production is designed for moving cameras. With camera tracking, the image on the LED screen is rendered in real time based on the camera's position and angle. The stronger the perspective and parallax, the more convincing the illusion. Steadicams, techno cranes and motion-control robots work seamlessly with Virtual Production.

Because the live image on the LED screen is rendered by a game engine, anything possible in a video game is possible in Virtual Production. You can turn gravity on or off, place objects in impossible positions, and animate them freely.

In Virtual Production, time of day, weather and season are entirely under your control. You can shoot golden-hour light all day long, create a night scene at noon, or even show all four seasons in a single day. You no longer have to adapt to sun position or weather conditions, so your shooting schedule becomes far more reliable. This saves both time and budget and gives a more predictable result.

You no longer need to travel the world to shoot in different locations. You can make your film far more varied and compelling, filming in the Arctic, a desert and a tropical forest on the same day.

Although the LED screen stands on the floor, it acts as a virtual window for the camera. If you place the virtual location above ground level, the camera really sees it from that height. For example, you can create a rooftop scene and, as the camera moves up, reveal what is below roof level, or climb to the top of a windmill.

Changing a virtual scene takes only minutes, but the large LED screen cannot be moved. Any change to the physical part of the set must therefore happen in front of the screen during the shoot. In film production, time is money, so set design must be planned carefully. Anything actors touch or use should be built physically; elements that stay in the background can remain virtual. Physical details make the shot more realistic, so finding the right balance is essential.
