Researchers at 裸聊直播 will explore the concept听of virtual and remote production, with the potential to embed greater sustainability in production practices.听
A multi-disciplinary has been established to develop research and expertise around听virtual and remote production, while听a showcase of virtual production technology will听take place on 裸聊直播's Talbot Campus as part of the upcoming听听
Virtual production听involves combining live and virtual reality elements on set. Locations can be virtually created in real-time using green screens or LED walls and those in the scene can interact with digital backgrounds and props.
This reduces the need to move crews and equipment to different听locations and enables remote working, helping reduce the environmental footprint of productions.
The technology has already been used in television productions such as Disney's The Mandalorian as a way of capturing virtual and physical content in a single shot.听
Transportation and travel to location听accounts for听, and it has been reported that virtual production听has been shown to lead to at least a听.听听
Virtual production can also increase productivity and faciliate reuse of virtual props and facilities, reducing waste.听
As well as the potential for more sustainable practice, the virtual production research cluster will also explore the potential applications of virtual production and undertake research in production techniques to help establish best practice.听
