Virtual Production Essentials
There are a host of considerations when shooting in VR production for the first time. While VR production offers lots of flexibilities and options, it’s best to consider these factors in advance of the day of the shoot. We will discuss such topics as the timeline, the green screen space plus many other considerations. Traditional hard sets typically have a beginning and end because they are a series of hard flats connected together. VR sets don’t need to be built out in the same way as traditional sets. They can be built out as complete environments with 4 or more walls, ceiling floor, separate rooms, outside spaces etc. For these reasons our clients have tremendous creative opportunities. Instead of moving cameras around for shots we move the set around the talent for those angles, backgrounds that make the most sense. These flexibilities now become considerations while preparing for the shoot.
What is Virtual Reality? | Virtual Production
Virtual reality is the use of computer technology to create simulated environments. Virtual reality can place either the user/player or talent inside a three-dimensional experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users can be immersed in and interact with 3D worlds.
