LED panels are a key component of the LED volume walls that form the backdrop for virtual production, an increasingly popular technique used in feature film and television production. This emerging technology enables productions to recreate the look of fictional worlds, far-flung or difficult-to-access locations, or multiple real-world sites in the controlled, safer, and more comfortable environs of a soundstage. Crucial specs to look for in an LED panel include a low pixel pitch of <3mm (high-density pixel count), high brightness levels,

Optimal imaging for virtual production (VP) requires certain camera functions that are not integral to all video cameras. A global shutter (or fast readout speeds), genlock capability, and timecode input are key factors to look for when selecting a camera for your VP video capture. Let’s review these specifications and highlight several cameras that incorporate these key specs.
Global Shutter Sensor
Most video cameras are designed with a “rolling” shutter that successively scans each row of photosites (the physical embodiments of pixels) on

This article is an introduction to virtual production using photogrammetry and lidar. In this article I will discuss what photogrammetry is, and how advances in lidar scanning allow you to use it in pre-viz as well as production.
What Is Photogrammetry?
Simply put photogrammetry is the process of creating a 3D image, or gleaning 3D information about a location from 2D images. Essentially you use a series of 2D images to create a 3D “map” of a surface, area, or room.
Why Use Photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry enables you to make realistic and

In an increasingly digital world, it’s often no longer feasible for an entire technical team to be on site for a production. But as more infrastructure moves to the cloud, physical camera hardware still often stands in the way by requiring in-person setup and fine tuning. That’s where PTZ cameras come in. With their ability to be remotely panned, tilted, and zoomed, they open up a world of possibilities for remote production. So what are the best ways to utilize them? Let’s dive in!
