Unreal engine system

  • Unreal Master Workstation – operator workstation that manages the scene during shooting. It can do colour corrections, move objects around the scene and can move the place of the screen in the environment. Also if we are doing a driving scene it defines the exact route that the scene will be moved at.
  • Unreal Designer Workstation – workstation that is used by the on set designer for environment changes.
  • Unreal iPad Pro Remote control – a remote control that is usually given to the DoP so it can make quick color corrections on the scene.

Our Video Wall

  • Dimensions: 20m by 5m, 100 m²
  • Built by fine pixel pitch LED panels the video wall is one of industry’s leading and “World-class design awards winner 2021” 
  • Providing exceptional visual imagery for dynamic digital sets for film and TV productions, it is the best solution for in-camera VFX and XR.
  • The video wall has a refresh rate of up to 100 Hz, which helps to achieve slow motion up to 50fps, a system that eliminates the “moiré” effect, when the focus of the lens is exactly on the video wall and achieves realistic and immersive virtual studio effects.

Tracking Systems

  • Vive Pro with Mars – IR Based tracking system, the natively supported tracking system from the Unreal Engine. It has been used when shooting The Mandalorian and the latest Lion King
  • Ncam MK2 – Camera based tracking system. Ncam has the fastest tracking system currently in the world and the only system that can be used handheld. It has been used while shooting the latest Batman movie.
