    I was using a TV screen as a backdrop back before the family bought our first color TV in 1967. Back then homes didn't have a VCR or computer or internet. I'd had to get everything set up before the show then shoot quick when an appropriate scene came on.

    It's is so funny that you post this. About 2 months ago, me and my son started shooting a star wars stop motion series with his Legos, and the first thing we did was set up a TV as the background like "The Volume". We even used motion to simulate flying through space, entering atmosphere, etc. The whole rig is set up right behind me as I type this. We eventually plan on using a game engine to build digital sets that we can animate along with our frames to simulate grander environments. I knew I couldn't be the only one, but it's still cool to see you post this.

  • @amoryburgess

    The environmental light the TV throws onto the subject is also great.

    Basically it's a miniature video wall which is currently used in movie productions. I have used my monitor as my background for miniature photography for many many years and now they are using the same concept in video production too.

    • @kevindiossi
      @kevindiossi Рік тому +2

      Me too! I took some photos of Funko Pops with my monitor as the background and loved the look! I never did "build it out" to try it for other things like this. Glad to see it's so effective.

  • @captureinsidethesound
    @captureinsidethesound Рік тому +20

    This same method was used for Westworld and The Mandalorian instead of the typical green screen method. Mainly due to the fact they are LEDs so when bright enough they give off accurate ambient light and reflection so that CGI/models are easily mixed in and the actors look like they are in the same environment.

    • @dragon-id5uj
      @dragon-id5uj Рік тому +1

    I'm surprised you didn't mount the TV on a wheeled stand. If you put it on an articulating mount, you could wheel it to where ever you want, change the angle, and be set up in seconds.

  • @zwheels654

    Virtual production is so hyped right now, it's easy to forget that most of the rear-projection techniques we're talking about have been around since before computers. Thank you for this video.
    Every time I think I need to buy a gen-lock camera and a $5k tracking system, I find a video like this and go, "Oh yeah. This is all just rear projection. I can accomplish the same results with way less technology and a little more effort." And that's not even to mention old school camera tracking and compositing for green screen.
    Is virtual production super exciting? Absolutely. But I think for me it's just a distraction from good storytelling.

    I needed to have a playground as a background for a product photo. Well with winter in Canada that wasn't possible to do it practically so I was inspired by the volume from the Mandalorian and did similar similar to your setup. I used a very old TV that was passable for some static shots. I never thought to put the product right on the display. That's a great idea.

    This is incredible! 😍 A quick thought - how about using a mirror at an angle over the subject? In a way reflecting back the image from the TV and using it as an ambient light source, that's basically the actual image used in the background? Wouldn't that create a universal color ambiance?
