The Māui VP crew continues to learn a lot about virtual production technology. As part of the teams professional development we set in-house content challenges to continue to refine our craft. The industry is quite new to VP overall, so the more hands on training we do the easier our projects get.
For this particular example we pulled content directly from the Unreal 5 Early Access showcase called Valley of the Ancients, and projected the 3d environments onto our LED walls. This was better then using image plates as we could have more control over the composition and lighting of each scene. The background wall is a 2.8mm black pearl and the 2 side panels are 4.8mm outdoor for localised lighting. We used additional lights to emphasise particular facial details of our Actor Thomas Egan.
