We chatted with CEO Michael McKenna and Head of Production Hanah Draper about pushing creative boundaries. 🏎️ They helped Red Bull pull off its RB19 reveal with just 6 weeks of lead time. Using photoreal CG environments and drone footage, they built a fictional story of the racecar getting lost on its way to the New York launch event. 🛡️ Risk mitigation is key. Buttoned-up planning prevents common virtual production pitfalls and helps build client trust. Warner Bros relies on Final Pixel's tight production management. ⏱️ Virtual production compresses timelines. By reconceptualizing campaigns around dynamic CG scenes, clients can create content 50% faster than traditional methods. This also reduces costs by up to 20%. 🤖 AI will become another filmmaking tool, slotted into existing pipelines once iterative workflows improve. The tech is not the focus—it's the experiences it enables. 👏 The live action aspect uniquely expands creative possibilities, unlike purely animated CG or visual effects. It also breeds spontaneity on set as scenes can be reviewed and shifted in real-time. The future of the craft will leverage tech while preserving the human artistry of cinematography and set design that makes viewers feel emotion. Virtual production will transform filmmaking, not replace it. ############# ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction and Overview 01:32 The Challenges of Virtual Production 04:39 What is Final Pixel 04:39 Final Pixel's Global Reach 07:56 The Origin of Final Pixel 10:54 Final Pixel's Educational Programs 19:35 The Role of AI in Filmmaking 24:56 The Red Bull RB19 Reveal Project 27:42 Drone Footage and Car Plates 28:25 The Carbon Footprint of the Production 29:13 The Shoot and Challenges 32:45 The Impact of Virtual Production 33:39 The Speed of Content Creation 33:59 The Potential of Unreal Engine Environment 34:36 The Future of Filmmaking 48:45 Immersive Experiences & Las Vegas Sphere 51:18 Closing Remarks ############# New Territory Media ► https://ntm.link/home

Let's take an inside look at GhostFrame's brand-new technology, which creates 3+ realities simultaneously on an LED wall, expanding the possibilities for virtual production. 📬 Get the VP Land newsletter in your inbox: https://ntm.link/vpland 📺 This episode is from our NAB 2023 video series. Watch the video version of this interview here: https://youtu.be/hDCHxS8pl1M 🛠 TOOLS & RESOURCES GhostFrame https://www.ghostframe.com ************* GhostFrame: The Revolutionary Virtual Production Toolset GhostFrame is a brand new production toolset that's changing the game in virtual production, live broadcasts, esports, and corporate videos. Able to hide video content in an LED wall and maintain a perfect naked-eye image, GhostFrame enables you to shoot multiple background scenes simultaneously without the need for re-blocking, resetting, or re-lighting. Using GhostFrame, you can save time and achieve greater efficiency in your production process. How GhostFrame Works Peter from GhostFrame explains that the technology enables you to have multiple images hidden in the wall, which are visible through the camera, but invisible to the naked eye. The system works by shuttering the camera at a higher rate than normal, carving out and chopping out the subframe that is needed to give a perfect image. The lighting is synchronized with the background, and the lights cycle to match whatever is on the background that GhostFrame is recording. Applications of GhostFrame Fox Sports and Valve are already using GhostFrame to power their analysis and studio analysis, respectively. Fox Sports is using it to put their analysts inside a virtual world, while Valve is using it to be inside their game world. Applications also include extended reality and AR shoots, where multiple cameras can be used to see different backgrounds on the wall. With GhostFrame, you can achieve multi-camera 3D Unreal production, and the realities are always on the wall, making it easy to preview and cut. Benefits of GhostFrame GhostFrame can help you achieve greater efficiency and creativity in your production process. With the ability to shoot multiple background scenes simultaneously, you can save time and money on re-blocking, resetting, and re-lighting. The lighting is synchronized with the background, and the lights cycle to match whatever is on the background that GhostFrame is recording. It's perfect for car commercials, where the reflections are real, and it enables you to change from day to night quickly and easily. GhostFrame is also great for extended reality and AR shoots, where multiple cameras can be used to see different backgrounds on the wall.
