Virtual Productions
Virtual Productions are rapidly becoming the future of film, but they will never be able to replace the magic and conviction of real location.
However, we do have several solutions which can mitigate this and improve realism.
​​
1) Integrate Physical Props with the virtual environment.
​
2) Create virtual props in the virtual environment which can be controlled in the same way physical ones are. These are known as 'virtual production props'.
​
3) Provide encoders to be used with turntables and treadmills which sync the plates or virtual environment near perfectly with the distance moved by the asset. Allowing for the most natural and accurate transitions through the scene.
Treadmill & Turntable encoders
Bespoke solutions: Our full adaptable encoders are suitable for any size treadmill or turntable and will deliver the exact data you require for your production. Please get in touch to discuss your technical needs.
Watch out treadmill encoder in action
You can see here a demonstration of our encoder feeding the distance data of a treadmill to our unreal environment. As the asset reaches certain thresholds within the scene, DMX events are triggered through automation.
Physical prop integration with virtual environment props
We can automated virtual props within the environment/plate being used just as we can physical props. Events can be sent on command or at predetermined intervals.
​
We can also integrate virtual production props with physical props as you can see in our demonstration videos, so that when an event occurs in the foreground, an event is triggered simultaneously in the background.
