The popular form of virtual production is hitting some bumps, but why?
Virtual production and cinematography have recently gone through a massive change. Thanks largely to The Mandalorian successfully making waves in the industry for its inventive use of an LED stage and virtual production pipeline for filming, many productions want to use virtual production toolsets in their workflow rather than a traditional approach.
These LED stages have become one of the fastest-growing areas of visual effects and production technology, expanding from three stages in 2019 to roughly 300 stages in 2022. Unfortunately, the industry’s quick jump to these types of stages is revealing a massive flaw in many productions.
An industry observer tells the Hollywood Reporter that the business, tech, and creative models for these pricey LED stage installations require more understanding from filmmakers before the stages can be used to their full potential.
