Is a plate within a plate that can make more plates a MetaPlate? Who knows, but that’s the name of this test. What’s the Objective? With the rise of Virtual Production, notably LED volumes and a shortage of familiar artists with real-time engine experience, we’ve seen plate material doing a lot of work in these…
Across three months, we designed, set up and shot LED Volume days with our partners October Studios & 80Six. Our first shoot focused on creating in-vehicle driving sequences, our second shoot placed people in different environments for a US-based documentary series. In this article, we walk through our process for in-vehicle driving scenes. Roads…? Where…
Tree scanning and Environment build for a VR installation, 134 Million Points and Counting What We Did We scanned processed and created assets for a VR installation experience, where everything was displayed as manipulated points rather than geometry. The environment is a large Sequoia Tree in a forest of rocks, ferns and smaller trees. We…
Working with Brownian Motion we’ve helped them develop their multicamera arrays using compositing tools. One might not immediately think of using vanilla NukeX when it comes to the stitching of video footage, but NukeX, with its built-in 3D system, provided a complete toolset for the things we set out to accomplish in our collaboration with Brownian…
The Alternative Cabinet War Rooms Over the course of 7 days, we joined forces with Subterranea Britannica and FARO to scan and photograph the Paddock Bunker, Churchill’s alternative war rooms. The result is a LiDAR scan of all 50 rooms across two levels, set below a housing estate in North London. The Bunker is full of history,…
Shooting interior vehicle shots can easily turn into a big number, creeping over you like Freddy does, while you sleep. Traditionally, they can be shot for real, on a low loader or with a specially modified vehicle. You can also shoot them in a nice warm studio, which is what we were tasked to do….
