The Herman Trend Alert
November 17, 2021 Saving Time and Money with Virtual Production Technology is revolutionizing the way we make movies and television shows. Imagine being able to significantly reduce the time it takes to produce that content? That reduction is exactly what VFX (Virtual Production) does! The new film technique allows studios to combine people and other real objects with computer-generated objects and environments seamlessly and in real time---that means, as it is happening.
Why this development is so meaningful
A Bit of History
Where We Are Today
The Remote Revolution
Other Advantages Virtual scouting. For studios, virtual scouting can take away travel time and reduce expenses. Some of the creative decisions and revisions can now be made earlier in the process ensuring that better decisions can be made while actors are on set. This advance planning leads to better initial shots and less rework. Idea iteration. With virtual production creatives may develop their visions sooner. This new technology creates the opportunity for consideration of visuals and settings before shooting the actors on set. Using these visions helps studios bring people together to create extraordinary visual environments and effects. Enhanced Visibility. With virtual production, everyone can have sense for what the finished product will look like. Using virtual cameras and green screen live compositing directors may see into their virtual worlds and contributors can see exactly what they are capturing. Moreover, LED walls show filmmakers and actors alike what the sets look like both through their eyes and through the camera. Quick On-Set Transitions. Without having to move physical sets, teams can transition from one scene to the next without interrupting shooting. And all of it happens in the same location. Digital assets can be changed quickly; this quick-change allows filmmakers to shoot several scenes with the same actors in rapid succession. Finally, with a virtual location, the filmmaker no longer needs to be concerned about weather, time of day, lighting, object position, or anything else in an external environment. Almost any conditions can be recreated at any time and are immediately available. Library of Assets. Now, with virtual production, filmmakers assets can utilize pre-built environments and effects from existing libraries. Those assets can easily be customized to meet the needs of any production---without having to build environments from scratch. Stored electronically, these virtual resources reduce the costs of physical storage, transportation, and labor.
The Only Downside
The Future is Remote and Global Special thanks to GLG for raising my consciousness about VFX and to my daughter Samantha Gioia for her help in understanding this new technology.
