🕹GO WATCH GAMELINKED🎮: • How Not To Fix Things
Making a Gaming news channel is easy. The hard part is finding some space to shoot it. Despite buying a separate building for our Lab, we have precious little space for more sets. WE got Short Circuit, Mac Address, Techlinked, Tech Quickie and Linus Tech Tips competing for space, it is getting cramped in here. But with the magic of green screen, we can transport ourselves anywhere. But with the BlackMagic Ultimatte 12, we can also do it live instead of in post.

One thing you should definitely consider is that if you have lights in a virtual background, you also need to have set lighting in roughly the same location, as the shadows on the actor would look unrealistic if it's just regular greenscreen lighting with lights in the virtual background.

You'd have to move left-to-right and a bit up/down to "wipe" the entire area for it to detect what the background is, but once you did that, the result was awesome. No idea what happened to that tech, but apparently it was not that expensive even back then. Otherwise they couldn't have afforded about two dozen such photo stations to take photos and email them.

We did virtual production years ago in Unreal for cheap with a htc vive tracker (1gen). It‘s actually really easy and allows you to realtime comp it together^^ We did this at a convention with cosplayers. Maybe 50ms latency at max.

Cool to see LTT finally start getting into virtual production.

There are techniques to get a fairly good key (about as good as this or better, depending on lighting scenarios). You can simply despill the green, then you remove the original bg from the despill one (BG-DESPILL) that leaves you with only the despill. Desaturate the despill and multiply this over your BG. And at the last step screen you despilled plate over the BG. What would be very mindblowing is if the hardware you deal with multiple colours of greenscreens and seams as in AAA movie production. Would love that.

TFO, the French public tv in Ontario has created a Virtual set a while back and actually rents it out. That could be a cool topic to show the technology. They're located in Toronto!!
One of the coolest things back in highschool in the early 2000s is we had a Digital Broadcasting class, and we had a green screen, a special live green screen box, the video and audio switch board, and all that, it was tons of fun to mess around with and do the daily news segment things we did
This workflow is so inspiring, reminds me of doing live video editing back in the 90s, but not at all.
This is such a great "intro to virtual production" video. Kudos to ya'all, great workflow.
dude, you gotta make all your in content ads this efficient, before i could even skip it, i had already been advertised to, so job well done
Virtual sets are amazing now next to what was available to us when I was in school a decade ago, and that was already really neat. I was crew on a student TV show that used a virtual set by the time I was finished, but it was all set up so that none of us really had to worry about it beyond keeping the on screen talent from getting close enough to the backdrop to cast shadows. Also one advanced production class I had I was offered a script the instructor thought would be a good use of the virtual set and he'd match my team with an architect, but we decided that learning VS stuff on top of the zero gravity stuff in the script would be too much for our shorthanded team.
Cool tech! I'm interested to see where the technology goes in the future. I also find it hilarious how at the end of the video, it says "Thursday 06/28/2023" when today is Thursday the 29th. Somebody in editing must not have been paying attention to the calendar too closely. 😆

Here's a fun trick: if you want to get the intrinsic parameters for your camera/lens combo and they aren't available online, 3D scan some object with the camera (take photos from various angles) and reconstruct it in colmap (set camera model to FULL_OPENCV and make all images use the same camera). Be sure to refine the principle point once the reconstruction is done. You now have extremely precise camera distortion parameters you can apply to any vfx stuff you render to get a perfect match

If you have an accelerometer it can work ok (drifts off track FAST), accel and mag and it works decently (drifts quickly but not as fast as just an accelerometer), and all 3 works great (still drifts but it is more gradual and takes a while due to how gyroscopes work)
As a big TV production geek I find this fascinating. It’s amazing how far we’ve come. I remember doing Chromakey as a teenager on Video Toaster in the 90s and this stuff is just wow.
New gaming news channel? Finally, a consistent source of good gaming news that can be trusted! Thanks Linus!

The rendered green screen backgrounds still look a bit off, but pretty darn good for non-blockbuster movie quality green screening. There's motion blur that doesn't look quite right when moving and lighting issues. But I bet as the editors work with it more it'll get even better!
You may want to demo the ultimatte smart remote, it speeds up adjusting settings as to not waste any time with talent. Another way to speed up that workflow is to use hyperdeck recorders so your editors can ftp in and access footage potentially while still recording. The desync between virtual content and cameras can be fixed by measuring the system latency and then adding an AJA frame sync or equivalent before the ultimatte to delay the footage by that amount.
I loved all the different studios you have created.
Filian on LTT! She just keeps wining!

I wonder who's the snacker at LMG
14:23 ah yes… Thursday the 28th… (should be 29)
I think I've seen your "qr" code looking things earlier this year... If I'm not mistaken, they are called April Tags, developed specifically for fast image recognition/ processing. The competitive robotics program I run a team for just switched to them this year instead of retro reflective tape.
11:58 literally made my day. I couldn't stop laughing 😂
Really happy for myself and everyone else who loves watching you guys, having a gaming channel is so sweet!
Linus once again with his shenanigans. Looking forward to the new channel!
I can see a future where the LMG studio is just a series of sound and light controlled green screen booths. I watched this video after seeing the first GameLinked episode and was impressed that they splurged on all of the (what I assumed to be Titan Tube) background lights. If the future of LMG is genuinely going to be a larger collection of smaller channels, this approach could make a lot of sense.
love the camera tracking parts, I do those algorithms for augmented reality
Even tho, thanks to Captain Disillusion, I already knew (almost) everything about this subject, it's so cool to watch this thing working its magic live while you guys explain it, good luck with your new channel!
Virtual products are so cool! I've been fascinated with it since corridor did it. It's really interesting how it's become so accessible to smaller creatives
I love finding out about this sort of stuff. Ever since watching / reading about old Doctor Who where they used CSO (colour separation overlay - what the BBC call chromakey) and how much they used it in the 1970s & 1980s and were trying to push the tech then, it’s fascinated me.
12:43 FILLIAN!!!!!!! LETS GOOO
It is nice to see some more in-depth chroma-key coverage. Blackmagic Design has been and is constantly pushing production on almost every front forward.

Blackmagic is great kit. I only have a couple of issues with them (Blackmagic) (these are personal peeves and purely opinion): 1) Their website is a pain to use. The support site layout is not intuitive and finding what you are looking for is a guess factor within a given product line (want the documentation applicable to the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K? Scroll down and maybe you will find a doc dedicated to the line or maybe not. What a document applies to often isn’t clear.) 2) This leads me to my second peeve. Their documentation isn’t great. All the docs look the same and cover the same stuff. Anything remotely complicated or advanced isn’t covered and you are left to hang and dig yourself. Want to find out what a DVE is and how to use it? Look no further than the DVE section in the doc where it might tell you what DVE stands for and that you use it for that purpose. And stop. That’s it. No more details, no examples, nada.). 3) Some of their gear makes a lot of noise. We had an ATEM Television Studio HD that sounded like a small jet while running. I looked it up and there is an iFixit article that covers replacing the small fans with matching Noctua fans that cost a small amount of money and effectively making it silent. Recently we needed to upgrade to an ATEM Constellation 2/ME, a much more recent model. And what do I find? Another small jet plane when it is running. Come on Blackmagic. Please spend more than $5 on the fans in these units. A good fan is quieter, more efficient, and more effective for not much more money. Having said all that, we are still going to be using their gear because the competition in that space and at those price ranges is practically non-existent.
The one thing that gives it away as a green screen is lighting. If your on-set lighting can match the digital set it will integrate almost seamlessly.
That is awesome, and even more so that it comes from Black Magic. I'd love to see you guys using Davinci Resolve.
I'm in the broadcasting / tv production industry for almost two decades now and it's really amazing to see what you can achieve on a budget these days. camera equipment 7 figures, posptro equipment 6 figures, recording equipment 5 figures - all gone. Doesn't only makes me happy because now also cinematic enthusiasts also get to make content with a high production value - I'm a line procer so it also makes my job much easier.
I think the movement definitely has to be worked on to look more convincing. It looked incredible for two seconds but as soon as the camera started doing more complex movements, it looks like the background was really struggling to keep up. Definitely really cool though.
I don't think it will be very long before LTT could outsource production for other creators/companies

Maybe with the increasing number of videos and projects. They have more than 100 employees and they have recognised it is hard to meet the number of videos per week (25 I think)

@@ParadoxalDream I could see them selling services such as video editing, scripting, labs testing, as they expand to a multi-hundred employee company there will be more employees dedicated to the quality of each production, but once that gets to the point there's enough staff to comfortably handle all current and upcoming LMG channels, they'll have capacity to offer those services, and because of the reputation for great quality they've got it'll be easy to charge a heavy premium. That's almost full contract production house type work, especially if these greenscreen sets get implemented into a workflow efficient enough. Imagine a customer brings a script and some hosts, hops onto a greenscreen, shoots their video, it gets a set background added to it, the full script and storyboard gets sent to an editor as the shoot is being recorded for a near real-time workflow, and an hour after shooting a finished extremely high quality video is produced. Say this gets optimised down to only 4 manhours, say each staff member gets $100 an hour as an exaggeration. A normal production house would probably charge high 4 to 5 figure bill due to the manhours, but LTT get to charge a similar rate but at a much higher profitability. It's got the ability to scale to run in parallel if they're being contracted by other companies Extreme hyper speculation, but a cool future to imagine.
@LinusTechTips I was apart of the Crew that helped build "The Volume" LED Video Wall for Lux Machina and the crew of Mandalorian. If your company ever wishes to explore that avenue and use LED + D5 Switchers for Motion Tracking and Integration please reach out. I would love to come down to Vancouver and help you guys set-up a legit video wall. I have contacts with ROE and various LED companies to this day. Not to mention I could help you guys get the proper rack mounted equipment to facilitate a day-to-day studio operation. Anyways, it was fun to watch this video and I am glad you guys are expanding and growing! I've been a life time fan and still work in the film industry to this day (IATSE Local 600 + IATSE Local 80 Studio Grip).
I wrote software to do this sort of thing decades ago. They had taken movies of a knight in shiny armor in front of a green screen to be sprites in a video game. Obviously I not only had to have it key out the screen, but it also had to get rid of the color in the reflections. Ok, it was a lot simpler than this, and you might have had to have adjustments change per frame, but it did the job.
7:40 his hair gets more wispy on every cut!
thanks for the cameo 00:00:45
Super cool to see this virtual production setup. One thing, though. The example of the "TikTok" filter using body segmentation to turn the person into a colorful illustration is actually an Instagram filter... that I helped make :P
I hope they still put out techlinked at night. For some reason, I really like it

The only problem is that the light has to match with the background scene. If you want to achieve a more realistic scene you could also track the lights in UE5. However it might still not look real due to missing reflections and stuff like that. Therefore as you said you'd need to use a very very bright Screen to cast light to the actor. Otherwise a very interesting video. I love your videos about cameras and stuff like this... Thank you for the video
What are those speakers at around 12 minutes in the break room the white egg shaped ones
I was not expecting Filian, so not expecting Filian
5:01 That's impressive as hell
The motion tracking section is wild, it reminds me of mysteryguitarman's video showing how he made everything look handheld, just tracking a sample of shakey hands and applying it to a scene
As a video professional I've been able to tell you guys we're doing green screen on a couple a roll shots for months now but it's really cool seeing the tech behind it. The fact that black magic makes something that cheap when I've been doing purpose but Rex for the stuff that cost three times the price for a decades is insane
Those speakers look like portal turrets. 🤔 12:05
