Virtual Production
“Do you think you’ll move to virtual production?” is the question we get asked most here at Galleon Studios. Actually. That’s not true. “Why is green the best colour for fx?” is the question we get asked the most (so much so we wrote blog about it). The second most asked question is “Do you think you’ll move to virtual production?”. Actually, that’s not true either; “Where does the name Galleon come from?” is the next most asked question. Ok. Among the top 5 questions we’re asked is “Do you think you’ll move to virtual production?”. The answer is a resounding “Yes!”.

In a way, we’ve been crafting virtual productions for years. Galleon Studios has always offered our clients the chance to preview their green screen live as it’s filmed. Originally using Datavideo DVK-100, then an Ultimatte DV, then the Blackmagic Atem Production Studio 4k, then the Tricaster, and now the most sophisticated powerful PC we could design. This remarkable machine (with an equally remarkable price tag!) leverages Unreal Engine to live track camera movements in real time over whatever background, real or CGI, you can imagine.
