"MMC Studios is the hot spot for any kind of moving image production in Germany.

So it seemed best to organize a real live demo in our Cologne studios, with a complete virtual production setup and an actress playing scenes on the set," comments Jens Wolf, Managing Director of MMC Studios.

The use of a Virtual Production Set can not only improve the Reduce on-location shooting costs and post-production times, but also the Performance of the involved Performers promote.

The use of a Virtual Production Set can not only improve the Reduce on-location shooting costs and post-production times, but also the Performance of the involved Performers promote.

The Actress Neshe Demir explains: "You are directly in the right environment that is depicted in the scene, so you don't have to imagine it. My body adjusts to it right away with the movements. I think it makes me play much more naturally."

For the set at MMC Studios, a 96 m² LED wall consisting of 416 ROE Visual Diamond DM2.6 LED panels.

This was used for the shoot because it required a very small pixel pitch.

In order to bring the larger objects into a virtual world, an additional larger LED wall with almost 22 x 10 meters area used.

This consisted of 288 ROE Visual Carbon CB5 panels.

Additional dynamic lighting as well as desired reflections were created for the shoot using a flown LED ceiling created from 45 CB5 panels from the Carbon series to further increase realism and precision when shooting.
