Amazon Studios' new Stage 15 in Culver City is Southern California's largest virtual production stage, with a wall of more than 3,000 LED panels and motion capture cameras.
On Monday evening, filmmakers, directors and special effects artist ate shrimp cocktails and miso salmon as they wandered around Amazon Studios’ new 34,000-square-foot virtual production stage in Culver City.
“All these technical breakthroughs just allow for different kinds of storytelling that you couldn’t do before, maybe you couldn’t afford to go out to that location, or maybe it’s technically impossible. But now you can do it and it looks and feels real,” Hudlin said in an interview. He starts filming “Candy Lane” next week and expects to be on the stage in February or March. “It means a lot to be able to work at home and have the world right here in a studio.
“This whole investment that we’re making is consistent with who Amazon is,” Albert Cheng, vice president of Prime Video U.S., said in an interview. “We’re investing in new technology and we’re trying to figure out how to innovate around production using new technology.” “The short-term challenge was how to safely shoot and create content with limited travel over the desire to shoot in multiple locations,” said
Virtual production technology uses advances in gaming software and goes beyond the use of green screens. Instead of performing against a static, blank screen, actors and crew on a virtual production stage can interact in real time within a three-dimensional environment projected on LED screens.
