“In the third part of the Virtual production Innovation series, Dimension Studios provides an explanation of what Simulcam is and how it benefits the actor and director to see the 3D CGI assets in real-time, compared to traditional production where CGI assets are added during post-production.

The project was directed by Paul Franklin, creative director at DNEG. He said: “Speaking as a filmmaker, the Sky Virtual Production Innovation Project was a dream come true. Working with a state-of-the-art LED volume, I was able to explore a wide range of dramatic scenarios ranging from urban locations through natural landscapes to deep-space sci-fi worlds – all on the same stage. The photographic realism that can be achieved is astonishing – I can’t wait to shoot in the Volume again.” Click for more
