Virtual Production | 3 New Ways We Used LED Stages To Film Sci-Fi Short Film “New Air" In Real-Time

4 Days
3 Physical Props
2 Actors
1 LED Stage

With these simple ingredients, we created "New Air" - our sci-fi short film exploring human survival on a distant planet - using revolutionary new methods in virtual production. The entire film was shot over 4 days on one of Versatile's LED stages in real-time, with no VFX post-production. Check out the full film here:    • NEW AIR | Watch the 1st Sci-Fi Short ...

0:40:00 - 1:18:00 Integrating physical props with virtual assets
1:18:00 - 2:32:00 Using perspective and depth-of-field to have virtual items in the foreground
2:32:00 - 3:52:00 Matching movement in the virtual world and the real world

Huge thanks to everyone to helped make this film possible, including our amazing cast, crew, the Versatile R&D team, and also the technologies that have enabled us to create the Versatile Virtual Production system, especially our friends at ‪@NVIDIA‬ and ‪@UnrealEngine‬
