This is really incredible, i'd love to hear more about the education behind pairing virtual production and small budget filming, it's pretty amazing

The KZread gods sent me here. This is freakin amazing. I've been looking for alternatives to on-set filming for forever. I can't animate or draw, but I can definitely act like an idiot in front of a greenscreen.

Perhaps the next step would be to invest in some hue-controllable lights, to make compositing easier!

I recently did a very low-budget music video where I built two walls of LED-strips and used pixel-mapping to get lighting which matched a rear-projected background. It really sold the immersion. So I'm sure something similar might be able to work for them too.

Yes but Hue Lights arent really the key here.

I imagine that soon the lights will communicate with the system and set the right hue automatically (if it's not already possible).

@@undergroundo that's what Martin Jones just said. Pixel mapping on the led lights.

I used to be in this field then I quit for 4 years from my mental health. I was too scared to back to this field again. Now after your inspiration which you made things so possible... thanks dude

Brilliant video, you perfectly captured the frustations a lot of people had at the beggining of the lockdown and trying to learn virtual production on the fly, failing a lot on the way.

Incredible achievement. I'm sure you've got lots of other things to do (that help you pay the bills), but a tutorial on how you did it would be fantastic. Or even a list of the links you found most hopeful.

Really nice overview! Congrats on the BBC show. Thanks for the mention in the description. :-) Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Absolutely love this - fantastic work and it's great to see how you learned and improved your techniques as you went along. Can't wait to see more from you :)

I love this showing of the process!

I don't know how I came across this but you guys are amazing for having made such a detailed, comprehensive BTS on this process. I shot my first VP commercial last year and enjoyed it.

Love it! Thanks for the shout-out!

This was amazing and so insightful!! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm based up in the North East of England and love watching and seeing content like this. Hope to one day do EPK in film and TV and so seeing all of your BTS is really awesome and inspiring. Keep up the great work and will definitely check out your series on iplayer! :D

Awesome video and I loved seeing how you worked things out on a small budget with a great result, thanks for sharing!

This is amazing! Must be a lot of fun once you got it all worked out.

This is incredible Phillip thanks

This is simply Great! Thank you for sharing your journey!!!

So much problem solving. Wonderful storytelling. Thank you for inspiring and showing what’s possible

Thanks for posting. Really generous of you 💗

It all came together with the last gritty shot with the blue cast on the talents face - brilliant!

Wonderful insight! Thanks for sharing!!!

And Jim Henson was revolutionizing the virtual production studio way back in 1987 for The Storyteller, and in 1989 for The Jim Henson Hour. Kind of amazing how far we've come in making the tech smaller-better-faster-cheaper, but the results from using chroma screen look exactly the same today, but in 4K. Volumetric studios are the best virtual ones, as rear projection work has always been better than chroma screens, and now we're taking it further with video walls and tech that tracks the camera in near real-time. Very exciting stuff! Thanks for this generous BTS video!

That's way more impressive than I initially thought before clicking on the video. Going to learn more about this stuff !!

this is soo cool. Hats off to you gents. Love this

Excellent stuff, was very interesting to see the BTS and see a step by step process. Cheers for sharing

Really cool and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

Loved everything about this video, very informative and entertaining. Cheers.

Great video, thanks for sharing and congratulations on the results!

Well done guys. Fun to watch and the tracker hint is nice too. Cheers

Really fascinating. They say you should never let daylight in on magic, but I'm grateful! We use straight CSO / chromakey for our training programs but this is truly astonishing! Congratulations!

thank you very much for sharing this. good luck with your show.

I jump on my side to the terrific but exciting VR world in France. Great job guys

So awesome!! And inspiring. Bravo!! Hello from Melbourne, Australia 🤙

Great work guys!!!

Small and clever productions is an extremely accurate name 😂

Very well done, and very useful information. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this video, this is really cool to see how you progressed!

VERY informative. Thanks for the insight ❤

awesome overview, thanks so much for this :)

Very nice job. Thank you for sharing.

This was great guys! I want to do this myself (in Canada). Thanks for sharing your process.

Great work guys 👍

Woa… ok I just clicked into it and was Shazaming the intro music and noticed only on the green fade over that this was already VP. Crazy feeling.

This is truly amazing!

Very very inspiring. Thanks for sharing

This is fantastic! I'm about to make the jump back into live action and am really eager to get my head around Unreal 5 in an FX context. It would be great to be able to have comedy sketches having access to real-time FX in their scenes, hell even if it's as cheesy as South Park using live action explosions in the scenes there could be great comedy in it.

Many thanks for the explanations …

Great work guys

A brilliant overview of Virtual Production…. and interesting real world example.

Brilliant video, excellent work, really interesting!

Very inspiring stuff! Always great to see piers at the BBC pushing modern practises. I hope to shake your hand one day

Thanks for sharing! Really inspiring.

Inspiring and cool!

Congrats guys!

This is great, thanks for sharing.

NICE! Love it! Good work!

Incredible!

Really good video. One very cheap option for camera matching is to control the real camera with the virtual camera. A pan and tilt on a tripod controlled with an arduino uno then mapped to the scene camera is simple but effective, certainly as a rig to "play with" as a learning exercise. I use Blender and OBS studio.

Wow. Incredible growth

Thank you very much for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing your journey!

How is this trick with qr code and camera positioning called? Cant find it anywhere

Superb video! Thanks for sharing! Have been doing lots of VR and would love to dive into this area for some productions later on

Amazing.. Thanks for sharing this video

The jittering is absolutely not a limitation of the VR system. I don't know what caused this in your case, but you can definitely get a smooth image with the Vive tracker on your camera. Anyway, this was terrific! Virtual Production evolves so quickly, it's astounding! Last year we had to manually calibrate the camera, now we have a simple, almost automatic calibration system. Here's a few advice : - Virtual Production is even more interesting when you move the camera. For that, you need to make sure, in the UE scene, that the virtual screen (the rectangle on which you project the actor) keeps facing the camera. That way you can shoot scenes with a moving camera, instead of just fixed shots. - You can get shadows automatically with the proper material settings on the virtual screen. No need to put it on each frame manually! The limitation to that though is the shadow is projecting a 2D surface, so there's an angle at which point it doesn't feel like the natural shadow anymore ; but that's just a limitation to keep in mind when working on the lights! Aside from that, you get real-time accurate shadows.

Tundra are making a big tracker that is designed to replace the Vive one for virtual production and Vive are working on some hardware to support this stuff too. Exciting time to be into VR tech!

Very interested to see more of this kind of content

Amazing work. And you’re only going to get better from here!!!

This is very nice! Its incredible

This is incredible !!

This is really excellent. I do a lot of work in After Effects and Cinema4D for Augmented Reality. But it’s all post production. Unreal Engine is something I’d love to get involved more in with and this is great video for starting with it. Thanks so much

Thanks for the video. Very informative

Awesome you have a team like this

That's really cool! Makes me want to play around with some stuff!

Thanks a bunch for the video, really amazing! I want to dabble in such productions myself, but it'll still be a while until I can do so

Really impressive!

Amazing 👏. Just wow

Amazing!

This was an awesome video! Great overview of the process: very informative! I definitely want to make a show like this, but I ditched greenscreen for mocap a few years ago.

that is pretty cool - thanks for sharing! Super interesting

Marvellous! ✨

Very cool video, thank you!

Thanks for also sharing some timings, which gives a better feeling for how long a start in virtual production really takes.

Really cool!

A really good and useful video, thank you

This is an amazing use of virtual reality!

Excellent. I love seeing problems solved on a budget.

That is amazing!

Very cool!

Awesome job, it's great to see the creativity! About the 'choppy' camera movement with the tracker, I think that is a solvable problem. If I remember correctly the trackers track position at 200hz but the headset works at a 1000hz (to make the vision more smooth). So it should for sure be possible to smoothly track a camera with the vive system! You can perhaps even 'upgrade' the trackers to 1000hz.

Thanks sooo much for this!

Amazing....👍

Brilliant!

Super cool stuff

Nice work!

great video!

this video explained omse concepts abot virtual production much better than others.

Inspiring 🙏

What a time to be alive! Can't wait to be talking to some friends about a Tv show in 10 years, and i'm just like " Oh ya Them? I saw how they started " :D

Great video!! We are exactly in the same process... and this was a great help to keep up the positive thoughts! : )

You should get some low res but bright LED Panels with diffusion on them, that are linked to live feeds of virtual cameras so that you get some interactive lighting. Ian Hubert talked about similar stuff on his Patreon a while ago.
