Virtual Production
The latest addition to our “Cobalt on the Road” offerings is Virtual Production. This technology integrates computer-generated environments with live action, allowing directors and cinematographers to see the composite as they shoot.
Our Virtual Production setup can work with either:
- LED volumes – excellent when you have a lot of reflective surfaces, like cars or shiny costumes, or need interactive lighting
- Green screen or blue screen technology – typically best suited for wide shots where actors are seen grounded to the floor
Motion Control Technology
Motion control (MoCo) is a precision robotics system that can be put to work on practical or virtual sets. It enables identical, repeatable camera movements, taking production value to the next level when:
- An actor needs to play multiple characters in the same scene
- Operating an impossible to execute shot
- You want to control the flow of time around a subject
- Shooting multiple celebrities with different schedules, in the same scene
Our MoCo systems can transform a static shot into a dynamic, cinematic experience without the telltale signs of visual effects at work. It enables repeatable, robotic precision that feels hand-crafted.
