Virtual Set Production
Top Right Corner works with film studios and production companies to pre-build digital sets and backgrounds using game engine technology.
Helps Producers
Shooting with pre-built custom backgrounds helps streamline production
During pre-production, creatives plan and pre-visualize the set in a 360 degree environment (including via VR-supported devices)
Productions can shoot with less crew members
Director, Creative and Technical personnel can watch, block, and light to the pre-built virtual sets on monitors at video village, allowing for seamless integration of all practical and virtual elements
Editors receive dailies with the option of seeing the virtual set “soft baked in”
All cuts have the option of virtual sets laid in from Day 1, leading to more control of the final product
3 Easy Steps
1.
Our developers work with the director, DP and production designer to build these custom environments using digital tools such as Maya, Unity and Unreal Engine. After sets are approved by creatives, the TRC team instructs the production on how to PreVis and use the digital assets to plan the show
2.
The TRC team works with the production’s camera team to provide proper technical support on the shoot day. This includes connecting the DP, Director, Gaffer and Visual FX Supervisor with the ability to install the virtual sets with live monitoring
3.
Finally, once the dailies are delivered to post-production we provide the proper support to the production’s VFX team to clean up and polish the virtual sets once the edit is locked
