Virtual Production
As early as 2016 on SyFy series 'Blood Drive', Unreal Engine was used to create unique virtual environments enhanced with custom assets and photogrammetry.
In late 2020 work began on developing a cost effective virtual production solution for South Africa.
Prototype LED modules were developed and successfully tested.
As Virtual Production Supervisor, Paul was key in creating the Filmscape LED volume in Cape Town. A 110 square meter LED volume with camera tracking was built and immediately began to service international feature productions.
On-set Motion Graphics
From small interactive social media scenes to full mission control rooms, GFX are an indispensable part of modern film making. Hard Light continues to innovate in this space.
