ABSTRACT

Chapter 1 dives deeply into understanding what “virtual production” actually means. It includes compelling case studies and points to a certain future wherein real-time techniques – that already exist – are used to speed along the process. More importantly, it demonstrates how real-time virtual production can show exactly what is going to be shot and how it will be accomplished utilizing assets and techniques that make this process time- and cost-effective. Not ignoring a deep dive into chroma key-based virtual production, calling out scenes that will benefit from this technique, and providing insights as to which tools will be the ultimate “game changer” for this approach to using LED walls for blue or green screen chroma key.
