INDIE Virtual Production Test | Unreal Engine | LED wall | Behind the Scenes

Kia ora we’re The Granary,

An Indie Production Company based in Wellington, New Zealand.

We had the opportunity to test out Indie Virtual Production utilising an EPIC Unreal Engine pipeline on an LED screen wall supplied by Streamliner. Sound stage at Avalon Studios.

Live camera tracking was achieved using an HTC VIVE Pro Eye.

Inspired by the work of ILM on the Mandalorian and with a special thanks to Matt Workman for leading the charge by showing Indie filmmakers what’s possible.

We wanted to see what was possible within an indie “Live 3D” Virtual Production Environment. With 48 hours and a small crew we tested how the latest LED screen tech coupled with Unreal Engine Virtual Production workflows can empower low budget indie filmmaking.

With special thanks to Streamliner for allowing us use of their screens, Avalon Studios for the sound stage and Rocket Rentals for the camera equipment.
