AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER ASCMAG.COM Visual-effects supervisor Bruce Jones was a guiding force in the production of the effect, which was accomplished by combining projection mapping with virtual-production techniques. Projection mapping is a methodology used to project imagery onto a three-dimensional object, with the image maintaining proper proportions despite any irregular geometry of the object's surface. " Our surface was a roughly hourglass-shaped, highly sensitive fabric called Hologauze, which was rigged to a curved truss, " Jones says. The " memory " footage was front-projected, from outside the circular fabric screen, by multiple projectors onto this nearly transparent surface. To prep the stage for the effect, Jones says, " We mounted three Barco UDX-4K40 4K projectors [from the ceiling] at steep angles so the BROMPTON LED PROCESSING - MAKING VIRTUAL PRODUCTION A REALITY WORLD-LEADING TECHNOLOGY FOR LED-ON-CAMERA APPLICATIONS Photo credit: MADO XR www.bromptontech.com info@bromptontech.com +44 (0)20 7471 9444 OCTOBER 2021 / 21 IMAGE BY WALTER SCHNEIDER.http://www.ASCMAG.COM http://www.bromptontech.com
