Virtual Production | The Making of Sci-Fi Short Film "New Air"

While shooting sci-fi short "New Air" (over only 4 days, with 3 props, 2 actors all on 1 LED stage), we kept saying our filmmaking process looked as much like science fiction as our actual film.
In this video, we take in-depth look at how we made the film from script to screen in interviews with our key cast and crew, featuring the film's Director, Producer, DOP, Head of R&D, Lead Actress, Virtual Production Designer, and our Sound/Score Supervisor.

What was it like producing the entire film with Virtual Production?
What was different about our production pipeline? And why?

Key moments:
