5th August 2011 by Rachel Willis 2 comments
When we meet up and talk to people about VirtualStudio.TV they often ask us exactly how our technology works. The good news is that althought it might look quite complicated, it's really very simple, especially when you see it live!
So to give you an idea of what VirtualStudio.TV is like and how we make our videos, we've created the below video to show you the cool production technology we get to use every day.
We have an open door policy at the studio so if you're in the Cambridge area or passing through and fancy a look around, please just give us a call and we will be very happy to show you the studio.
Alternatively, if this video prompts any questions, please do give us a call on 01223 520968, we'd love to hear from you!

Reflective media just superb. I'm guessing this is similar to highly reflective front projection screen method as used in Hollywood - albeit for film stock cameras. The train crash sequence in 'The Fugitive' (scene where Ford's character jumps off bus just before train hits) and the epic opening scenes in Kubrick's '2001 A Space Odyssey' (although Kubrick didn't have benefit of powerful green LED lighting)
That water bottle would normally be very tricky to key out in a conventional system. I wonder if this technique would work for filming miniatures for an FX sequence?
