Virtual production is merging the real and virtual world using ultra-modern technologies and completely transforming the filmmaking process. Its advanced functioning and features are replacing green screens and eliminating post-production hassle. Directors can shoot every minute detail without compromising their vision and creativity. While the green screen creates impressive visual effects, it has several limitations that restrict the director’s vision. Some of the limitations include high operational expenses and post-production hassles.
Virtual production, on the other hand, surpasses these limitations and enables directors to tell untold stories. It helps directors create out-of-the-world experiences for their audience using virtual production and bridge the gap between vision and reality.
Explore how virtual production LED video walls are revolutionizing the film industry.
Virtual production is an amalgamation of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (XR), which are further incorporated into LED displays. These technologies enable directors to turn a film set into an imaginary world or bring unreal assets to life. Moreover, if the director decides to change the location, they only must swap the background. This would have been inconvenient on the green screen as editors would have to spend long hours editing the scene using a zillion different software and may have to cut off some elements.
On the contrary, since LED display consists of advanced software and tools, it prevents post-production hassle by:
This enables directors to change, edit and create scenes during the shoot itself.
LED display combined with Unreal Engine is creating real-time visual effects. So, actors don’t have to pretend to fight with a tiger or watch a bird in the sky. They can do it for real! Unreal Engine creates visual effects, like tiger attacking or birds flying on LED display, enabling actors to interact with them in real-time. Also, the huge LED display can be tilted, zoomed, and travelled through, which merges the background on the screen with an actual scene, making the action look more realistic.
Additionally, LED displays are light-emitting displays that reproduce natural light, which gives a more natural effect to the scene. Traditionally, these visual effects and lighting were created in post-production since green screens couldn’t emit light or create visual effects. Today, with a virtual production LED display, the scene is shot holistically, making it more impactful and authentic.
Virtual production LED display has blurred the boundaries of imagination and reality as it can bring the direction’s imagination to life, from space to the ocean, without actually being at that location. No more dothe directors have to change their scenes, location, and perspective due to flat green screens or lack of props. The exceptional technologies combined with LED display features can create a world of the director’s mind. These technologies also enable actors to interact physically with elements on LED video walls rather than pretending it with computer-generated elements, making their performance sharper and more realistic.
Also, directors can modify the script, scene or location on the spot to make improvements, which was traditionally done in the post-production process. The post-production sometimes had to delete some scenes or elements due to bad lighting or placement, impacting creativity. Fortunately, the virtual production keeps up the original content, enhancing the output of the film.
Virtual production LED display creates immersive experiences not only for audiences but also for actors and directors. Actors and directors have more room for experimentation with scenes that consist of action, magic, fantasy, and animation. Advanced technologies help them make every scene so genuine and original that even they can’t judge the real from the reel. This further extends to the audience as they watch exceptional actions and content, which the traditional filmmaking process failed to show and make it look realistic. It enables the audience to engage with the character and the environment around them, imparting a wholesome experience to the audience.
Additionally, this innovation has significantly improved the performance and creativity of actors and directors as they have more elements and props to perform with, which a green screen could not provide. This modern technology is creating experiences that are eccentric, original, and impactful.
Virtual production LED display has eliminated the challenges and time-consuming post-production process. Adding visual effects, changing backgrounds, modifying scenes, bringing elements to life, etc., are done during the shooting process using virtual production. This saves the hassle of the post-production process and protects producers’ significant time and money. Traditionally, editors had to leverage several software and technologies to create precise lighting, sound effects, and scenes, which was time and money-consuming. By replacing green screens, directors can channel their time and money into the creative process and deliver the best story to the audience.
LED video wall is a perfect solution for incorporating virtual production as the LED display itself has exceptional features that complement virtual production as well as fulfill filmmaking requirements. Explore how it is making a difference.
The LED display has ultra-brightness that can be used as a light source. For example, if the director wants to show the sunrise, the brightness and clarity of the LED display would emulate the sunrise and create a natural effect.
The LED display’s high pixel pitch and resolution will show every detail of an image clearly and create an immersive experience for the viewer. Also, it supports 3D display, color depth, high definition, colour saturation, etc., which makes content playing on the screen wholesome.
The LED video wall is huge; therefore, it can create a massive background effect that the green screen lacks. Plus, the director can change the perspective of the background seamlessly, which would not be possible on a flat green screen.
