Pre-production stage

3D Environment Design

When North Six approached us for a full Virtual production shoot including 3D environment design for a legendary brand featuring an iconic photographer, we were thrilled.

To support this, our in-house VAD team developed two versions of a vast ocean environment, carefully crafted to Mario’s creative vision, to emphasise the product’s connection to nature and to reflect the direction outlined in the brief.

Production stage

Custom build 17m x 5m LED setup & Unreal engine optimized for hi-framerate workflow

The shoot comprised two pre-light days and two shoot days, executed over a two-month period. The production utilised a 17m × 5m custom-built Absen LED wall with a 2.5mm pixel pitch, running on Brompton Tessera processing. The LED setup was driven by Unreal Engine render nodes and an optical tracking system. Notably, the entire virtual production pipeline operated at 100 frames per second, maintaining consistent performance throughout the entire shoot, creating a stunning backdrop for two Hollywood stars - Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Glen Powell

Full support from pre-production to final execution, all under one roof.

Throughout the project, the team provided full end-to-end support, ensuring smooth coordination across VAD designers, LED technicians, and production managers. This collaborative approach created an integrated workflow, allowing for guidance and support at every stage of the production. By maintaining clear communication and close oversight, we ensured that the final result met the highest standards and was something all parties could be proud of.
