That torch light tracking is fascinating. Really want to get into virtual production.
Black and white skull and cross bone shirt 🤢
Dude said this was $400k. Imagine this replicated inside a cube with a projection on all walls and different objects you can interact with other than flashlight like guns. It would be like VR without the goggles.
The Overuse of CGI is killing the movie industry.
Isnt happy with the food
Gone full circle used to be props and backgrounds then make it cgi in post now just make the props and backgrounds in real time cgi.
this is pretty brilliant.
5:23 , yes you definitely are for admitting, now thats a shame!
to all the viewers out there, never downgrade yourself like how this guy called humiliated his honor in front of those 2 and other crew members, never be such a low quality feminine pu see man
BECOME A REAL MAN!! he could have asked the question normally without downgrading his self-esteem, a prime example of low quality men who are often bunch of losers.
🤟
This future
Better technology does not make for better storytelling!
unreal is the future
The volume is awesome technology but film studios should not completely depend on this. The sense of depth and scope is lost. Kenobi vs Andor proves this while The Batman shows how it should be used.
Cool. Even more cgi in movies. Exactly what we don't need to be honest. Movies are starting to look so fake. There's a reason people are not going to the movies as much now. You can't beat a person standing in a real location.
Everyone has fantasys that made to be real.. like you into it old and young
Wait, you know what this reminds me of?! When car guys and journalist get together on a track day to lap the hottest hypercar or racecar (yes hypercar not supercar) fresh of the factory line.
Rich person VR. (For clarification, this is a compliment. It's very exciting tech). (Now for fun, imagine it with sci-fi level “hard light” magic. And what we can do with that).
Filming at a Real Location makes it so much better because it creates a experience like no other makes the character feel like they are there.
Damn GoT still getting dragged 😂
Cliffy B must be rolling over in his grave right now.
So their all called volumes?
I’m happy that tech for games has advanced to the point where there are more jobs for folks on a team.
IGN: "we rate this visit 7/10"
Disney own several larger 360 degrees (including the floor) of The Volume walls in their soundstages all over the world.
Nothing this guy said made any sense-just straight techno-jargon nonstop?!
siiick
Can’t wait for Fortnite the movie
You misspell death. This is the death of filmmaking
might as well just cg the actors as well at this point
This feels like an answer to a question that has not been asked, nor needs to be asked as there is no current issue with the methods being used. Nothing will ever beat a real set or filming on location (especially when said location gets your production a rebate).
UNREAL ENGINE 5 BABY!! They just need to be careful using LED volume because most of the sh*t im seeing with it look bad lol
They're really rich after Fortnite
Fun Fact: Most filmmakers see this technology more like a combersome gimmick, than actually the "future of filmmaking".
Don't allow anyone to tell you what is and isn't possible for you. You're the only one who can dictate what you can and can't do. You are the controller of your life.
After Boba and Obi-Wan…I'm gonna have to disagree.
It's a tool…but not a replacement.
no wonder modern flicks are soulless
The Volume was created by ILM, not Epic Games.
as innovative as this is, let’s stick to old hollywood 🙂
Why are Video Games so obsessed with 'realism'? What happened to escapism? Games wouldn't take 10+ years to make if studios stopped making every pore on a models nose visible
Google glass, stadia, Metaverse, it seems like one of those revolution products
This is a wonderful advancement
haven’t watched this yet, but if the volume is the future of cinema, it’s got a long way to go…
Yeah whatever, that means entertainment.
Wow. looks like a lot of people may be out of work soon….
Hope they put the same effort for their EGS Launcher
Epic
Insane stuff
Nice
