I'm preparing a children's musical and two operas for AI-CGI production - most everyone is new at this - but some movies over the past few years have done such a great job of it that the public has no idea it's all CGI
Changes the whole design and pre-pro process. Now the VFX and environments have to be done before shooting, that changes the design process in huge ways. Not a lot of the cinema quality VFX teams know Unreal well. Lighting is hard, especially lighting that isn’t soft. Getting the practical sets to match the cg sets, and when you need to flip directions you need to swing the practical sets if there are recognizable objects. Similar to green screen that you start to feel the “stage” in camera directions, meaning you are stuck in a small space and you can feel that in the final edit…
Really enjoyed this interview with Keith Sutliff! It's fascinating to hear about the challenges and behind-the-scenes stories of using virtual production technology in filmmaking. The transparency and honesty about the struggles they faced in making the movie is super valuable for anyone looking to get into virtual production. Thanks for sharing, Film Courage!
Thank you for this wonderful cultural channel. As I told you before I am Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American UA-cam channels. With your channel I feel as if Iam real student in American academy of dramatic acting which was established since 1884 , located New York, Los Angles . First of all looked up for meaning of virtual production it’s film industry technology Revolving way films are made . Combining social and virtual elements. We need for virtual production powerful computer with fast processor and high performance graphic card . Mr Keith sutlif is actor, stylistic filmmaker, whose work emphasizes nonliner storytelling and dark desaturated lighting color tone . I hope I can learn a lot from content of this channel. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students.

The Dinosaurs in Jurassic park were mostly cgi. But they had planned to make them stop motion and they had giant heads and other practical pieces of the dinosaurs for certain shots. The key is using a mix of practical and special vfx.
I did one extensive project using an LED volume. The technology was surprisingly rock solid. The biggest issues for me were getting cinematic contrast ratios and that the real engine assets are pretty usual. Had I had more time we could have spent way more time on those assets. The best results were when I created practical walls and used the LED screens as backgrounds not the rooms themselves. But it’s still a very new technology and is incredibly impressive. Anything beats green screen.
@@geoffhoutman1557 Cinematographers used to do "colour grading" and the final look was decided by the film stock chosen. Digital "colour grading" is just as ugly as visible CGI sets and effects.
Have you had experience with virtual production... if so, what problems have you run into?

Best of luck! Which movies are you referring to?

Had my first encounter with virtual production at Atlantic Studios in Cape Town, South Africa... amazing innovation for Film Makers.
Thank you! Such fascinating insights into an integral part of visual media!
Cheers Sam! Going to be interesting to see how filmmaking evolves over the next 10 years.

Thank you for sharing! It does look like the best results happen when you combine practicals along with the LED.
Keep it old school! No CGI unless is completely NECESSARY!
A cost benefit analysis would be helpful- extra colour grading time etc due to dealing w projected rather than reflected light
@@geoffhoutman1557 Interesting. 💡

Virtual production is ugly on screen. I really don't like it.
