Introduction
Virtual Production has been around for some time, but as hardware capabilities have increased to meet the high-end expectations of the Broadcast and Film industry, it has also become accessible to a wider range of users, including bloggers, smaller TV studios, and live event producers.
What Is Virtual Production?
Virtual Production is the method of creating content with either only computers or with a combination of computers and classical film and television tools. Different software is used to allow studios to combine live-action footage and computer graphics in real time. This way contributors across multiple locations can create and render digital environments, while cast members are physically working on set. But there are a lot of other advantages for studios looking for virtual production.
What Are the Benefits of Virtual Production With Aximmetry?
Virtual production has several benefits. Here are a few important ones:
Cutting Costs and Time
Virtual Production allows producers to cut costs and time with less or no need for location scouting, on-location setup costs, and several other expensive necessities. Instead, they only need a high-end PC, a studio, and Aximmetry.
Pre-Production Visualization
In virtual production, it is easy to give shape to your creative ideas. You can create or use pre-made scenes, sets, environments, studios and quickly change the lighting, colors, and look of your virtual reality. This makes the creative process more efficient.
Pre-Made Asset Utilization
Virtual resources are easier to find today online than ever before. Producers can hire graphic artists personally or online, use free or reasonably priced pre-made virtual materials, or create their own.
Worldwide Collaboration
Now virtual production can be managed and controlled across the globe without delay.
Flexibility and Mobility
It is easy to change aspects of your virtual environment and even easier to transfer them to other locations, studios, PCs and to share them with clients and colleagues.
