Today, I had the opportunity to attend a two-hour program at Futures Studio at Royal Holloway. It is a virtual production studio serving research and development for the audiovisual industry. The two-hour program flew by.
At the beginning, Peter Richardson talked about the main milestones in the development of special effects from Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) through Modern Times (1936), Superman (1978) to Mandalorian (2019) and The Batman (2022). The aim was not just to show the effects in the films, but mainly to highlight the gradual improvement of processes, materials, and technologies. And everything led to… LED.
That’s it. Futures Studio. Equipped with an LED projection wall, light panels, a sound system, computers, and simply tools for virtual production.
And yes.
The studio allows the projection of George Costanza’s image.
