Directors and actors are able to see what they’re creating by playing back in real-time adjusting as they see fit by using LED technology, camera tracking technology, and real-time render engines.

With a virtual production LED screen hire, you can plan out scenes and shots according to the exact creative vision of the director, right from the very beginning of the filmmaking process. All of this makes it possible to plan everything down to the T. Having said this, it’s not necessary to set the plans in stone! LED Virtual production offers complete creative freedom without compromising practical requirements since it offers the ability to make on-the-fly changes and experiments without risking production or budget.

Using LED virtual production hire makes it easier for producers to budget with greater clarity thanks to the use of virtual production techniques in filming. It is not uncommon for an unexpected element to cause an overrun on a project’s budget, including weather, unavailability of a location, or difficulties with the green screen usage. LED virtual production helps to avoid these extra costs by doing the following:

• Filming content that can be re-filmed during production rather than in post-production

• Eliminating the need for reshoots and calling back talent

• Lighting accuracy can be achieved without post-production rendering
• Instead of relying on natural light or weather, producers can create perfect replicas of outdoor landscapes as they see fit

Actors can respond to their surroundings as if they were immersed in that precise location when they perform against an LED screen displaying an entire virtual world. In addition, actors can react instinctively rather than by what they’re told on the set, due to natural sightlines to objects, scenery, and events on the set.

The use of virtual production can allow the creation of almost 360-degree environments that replicate the worlds the director desire, as well as working in conjunction with extended reality (XR). It is possible to create whole worlds using a single LED screen and integrating it with the camera.

3D scanning and photogrammetry enable filmmakers to virtually create any set and environment they desire. In addition, they can move buildings, trees, mountains etc and keep making adjustments using game engines.

Lighting requirements for green screens limit the amount of light available in scenes being filmed using the technology. Filming overcast or dark scenes on a green screen is almost impossible, which means that extra work must be undertaken once filming is finished. As the LED screens create ambient light automatically and have a large grayscale capability the correct lighting for the scene is created automatically, making post-production less labour intrusive.
