Virtual Production
ON FLOOR VIRTUAL PRODUCTION REAL TIME CAMERA TRACKING AND LIVE COMPOSITING projects
PREVIZ FOR CONTILOE PICTURES & SONY
Project details
Setup:
Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K
Camera Tracking using 4 HTC Vive Trackers
Decklink 8K Pro
Green Screen
WORK RESPONSIBILiTIES
1) Creating the level layout by incorporating set pieces and arranging the scene according to the director’s artistic vision.
2) Utilizing Niagara particles to enhance the visual effects, such as simulating the appearance of fire or other elemental elements.
3) Illuminating the scene through strategic lighting techniques to enhance the mood, highlight specific areas, and create the desired atmosphere.
4) Set up a real-time video feed from the camera to Unreal Engine’s level, ensuring a seamless and live connection between the physical camera and the virtual environment.
5) Configure a timecode provider and synchronize the camera’s timecode with Unreal Engine using a blueprint class, ensuring accurate timing and synchronization between the physical camera and the virtual elements.
6) Calibrate the physical camera with the virtual camera, aligning their perspectives and parameters to achieve a realistic integration. Enable camera tracking to accurately capture handheld motions and movements.
7) Perform live compositing within Unreal Engine by utilizing green screen keying techniques. This involves removing the green screen background and replacing it with virtual environments or visual elements in real-time, creating a cohesive and immersive visual experience.
