Watch Ian Hubert Transport Real People Into CG Worlds [Demo] DIY Virtual Production Using Blender In this episode of GameDay, we are joined by the talented (and hilarious) filmmaker, educator, and VFX artist Ian Hubert, whose indie filmmaking prowess has made him legendary in the Blender and visual effects communities. In this 50-minute demo, Ian shows us how you can combine live action and computer-generated elements by simply using Blender, a projector, and our Sci-Fi Industrial kit. If you’ve seen his latest installment of DYNAMO, or watched any of his popular “Lazy Tutorials,” you’d know Ian is a master of creating quick, deceptively-real visual effects – which is partly why he’s obtained such widespread notoriety. Ian is inspiring to many filmmakers because he proves that you don’t have to make super-detailed, high-definition analogs to real life in order to achieve realism. Our eyes are often a lot more forgiving than we might think.  In this episode Ian proves that once again by showing how indie filmmakers can mimic the virtual production techniques of shows like “The Mandalorian” – but instead of large sound stages with giant illuminated panels, he uses a projector and a blank wall to place his subject into a computer-generated wor...

CyberGaffer | Stage Unreal's Real-Time Virtual Production Shoot Stage Unreal’s green screen shoot powered by CyberGaffer In this behind-the-scenes look, Stage Unreal showcases a real-time lighting workflow integrated with Unreal Engine. Using a dome-style lighting setup and CyberGaffer’s precision control, the crew completed multiple scenes—including a 360° virtual dolly, dynamic campfire lighting, and seamless day-to-night transitions—in a single day. #VirtualProduction #GreenScreen #UnrealEngine #FilmMaking #CyberGaffer Stage Unreal: Website – https://stageunreal.com/ YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@stageunreal1232 Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/stageunreal Twitter – https://x.com/stageunreal Manoj Paramahamsa: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/manojinfilm Twitter – https://x.com/manojdft Srinivas Mohan: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/srinivasmohanvfx Twitter – https://x.com/srinivas_mohan CyberGaffer: Website – https://cybergaffer.com Discord – https://discord.com/invite/e2n566Zyaq Email – welcome@cybergaffer.com

Inside VRTUOSUS New Studio | CyberGaffer Inside VRTUOSUS in Johannesburg — currently the biggest studio equipped with CyberGaffer. In this video, Peter Stoel and Oscar M. Olarte share their experience working with CyberGaffer and talk about what this real-time virtual production workflow changes in practice. Built around MR Box, tracking, keying, rendering, and CyberGaffer on the lighting side, this setup allows the green-screen stage to respond to the virtual scene in real time: * switch between setups faster * change lighting interactively inside Unreal Engine * keep the background evenly lit for keying * continuously update the keyer while scene lighting changes The stage is equipped with 60 SkyPanel X fixtures and full color control, allowing dynamic lighting changes and background equalization at full studio scale. A big thank you to Thulani Mathebula and Nicole Capper for taking the time to give an interview for this video.

Real World Lighting Capture Workflow | CyberGaffer What if you could capture real-world lighting and recreate it inside your green screen studio? In this video, we show the new Real World Lighting Capture feature in CyberGaffer. Instead of setting up a lighting task from a virtual scene, you can film the CyberGaffer calibrator sphere in a real-world location, upload that image, and let CyberGaffer calculate the closest possible lighting match using the fixtures available in your studio. The result: a faster way to replicate real locations, build a reusable lighting scene library, and bring real-world lighting references into virtual production.

'Destiny 2' Cinematics Director Demos Unreal Engine Sava Zivkovic Demos Unreal Engine Using KitBash3D In this episode of GameDay, we are joined by Sava Zivkovic, Director at the award-winning animation and VFX company Axis Studios, where he’s overseen many AAA game trailers, including Gears of War 5 and Outriders. As a consummate creative, Sava directs his own short films and is always looking to expand his skillset, so when we asked him to demo Unreal Engine for GameDay, he was eager to learn more about the program along with us and see what he could create with our Brutalist kit. Be sure to stick around until the end to see his final cinematic! Along with his live experiments in Unreal Engine, Sava covers a number of topics, including how he transitioned from a CG Artist working in ArchViz to a career in filmmaking, the learning curve of becoming a director, and how remote work has affected his process – as well a delving into a myriad of insights for how he approaches visual storytelling.  Unlike many directors, Sava creates a large portion of the previsualization (“previs”) by himself. This previs acts as a dynamic storyboard that other artists working on the project can use as reference for things like composition, lighting, t...

VFXShow 309: The End of Oak Street Join the team for our latest episode as they dig deep into how the film was made, debate what worked and what didn’t, and put the filmmaking choices under the microscope.

🌟 Have you ever watched a show and thought, "Wow, how did they do that?" Well, DNEG's Daniel Baldwin has been behind the curtain, crafting the impressive invisible effects for Citadel Season 2! 🎬 In a recent article, Baldwin delves into the intricate world of visual effects, discussing everything from roaring fire to fully computer-generated crashes and seamless camera transitions that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It’s fascinating to learn how these “invisible” effects enhance storytelling without stealing the spotlight — much like a good magician who never reveals their secrets! As someone who loves diving into the behind-the-scenes magic of filmmaking, I can't help but admire the artistry that goes into making the unreal feel so real. Remember, behind every great show is a team of talented individuals who work tirelessly to create the magic we see on-screen. What’s your favorite unseen effect in a show or movie?
