On-Set Virtual Production Demo with SMPTE and 80six
A HYBRID 3-DAY EVENT WITH IN-PERSON DEMOS OF THE REAL-TIME TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR ICVFX (IN-CAMERA VFX) AND VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
80six teamed up with SMPTE, the association of media professionals, technologists and engineers, to facilitate a series of virtual production demos in support of their On-Set Virtual Production Initiative bringing together the best minds in the industry to collaborate in establishing system interoperability, workflows, training and best practices for new content creation technologies.
This is a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the intricacies of on-set virtual production in the context of a mixed reality set up within a ‘pop-up’ LED Volume built by the team behind Virtual Production Studios by 80six at ETC Playhouse in West London.
The team at 80six will give you a tour of the VP workflow for creating in-camera VFX (ICVFX), supported by cutting-edge technologies from their own inventory: ROE Visual, Unreal Engine, Mo-sys camera tracking and Disguise media servers.
Lighting a production when using LED backdrops is undoubtedly a hot topic and debate right now given the lighting aspect of the LED itself. As part of this showcase, attendees will have the opportunity to discover the ground-breaking fos/4 range of luminaires from ETC that introduced a patented deep red emitter into the LED array, filling in a portion of the spectrum we did not realise we were missing – a must-see for the technologically-savvy and those with a passion and interest in lighting and colour.
This event is brought to you by SMPTE, 80six, ETC, Mo-sys, disguise and Solent University in a joint effort to further education within the science and art of Virtual Production.
