Virtual Studio — WebsEdge Conference TV | VFX | CG Environment | Remote Production

COVID made reliable in-person production nearly impossible overnight. Conference interviews were suddenly split between on-site hosts and remote guests, and the challenge was finding a way to maintain a unified on-screen look across a program that was being filmed in fundamentally different ways.

Working with our production team and a 3D artist, we developed a fully CG virtual studio environment that the live action host was composited into — creating a consistent visual backdrop regardless of how or where each interview was captured. The approach was used across a number of WebsEdge Conference TV programs throughout COVID restrictions.

When in-person filming became practical again, we returned to it. The virtual studio was a practical solution to a specific problem, and knowing when to set a solution aside is part of the job.
