Advantages of LED virtual studio
1, the use of LED virtual studio site directly shot close to 80% of the effect of the finished film, without waiting for the post, what you see is what you get
In traditional filming, special effects are produced at the very end of the production chain, which means that the actors, cameramen, and even the film’s director are uncertain about the final presentation of the film during pre-production.
For example, the cinematographer needs to guess which lighting color best matches an unseen green screen element, or the director has no idea how the creature will appear in the climax of the film. If the final post-production is not as good as it should be, it can be costly to make changes in the good case, or in the bad case, there is no time to make changes because the project is close to launch. Compared to traditional production techniques, virtual production puts the creation of assets in the early stages, allowing the production team to develop a matching shooting plan in advance through pre-visual effects previews, and even on the day of shooting the asset material within the LED can be adjusted in real time through UE. This greatly saves time in post and reduces the risk of filming.

LED virtual shooting requires only a small amount of scene setup

LED virtual shooting through the front and back of the set and the integration of light and shadow, so that actors can perform in front of the actual image, you can let them as quickly as in the shooting location, thus greatly enhancing the efficiency of the shooting.
