PRG OverDrive Interactive LED Lighting Solution Reinvents the Wheel for Car Process Trailer Sequences
PRG OverDrive is a creative solution that brings a scripted location in television or film to any stage in the world. It saves production time and money while suggesting directors more on-set creativity, like the capability to switch locations with a shove of button or instantly shift scenes from a day to night sequence. Using this technology liquidates traditional obstacles location managers and directors face, such as closing streets, weather delays, obtaining permits, hiring police escorts as well as costs associated with numerous location moves. OverDrive can also light the set and actors within movie while producing an organic in-camera visual effect. The managed environment also permits the director to more lightly interact with the actors who can more readily react in a location they can actually visualize.
By engineering in-camera imaging tailored to the specific needs of any production, the illusion of actors and static vehicles actually in their media-chosen environment is created. PRG`s team can engineer, provide and install numerous LED resolution panel arrays and projection systems displaying driving plate footage based on input from the production`s creative team. OverDrive is managed on set from PRG`s media playback servers, creating a truly interactive and immersive environment.
While this is the latest technology used primarily to substitute traditional car process trailer sequences, PRG already has tremendous practice in engineering and executing this solution for many productions, including:
To leverage the utter value of PRG OverDrive, consider these seven questions while planning a production:
1.) Does the production only require the reflection of media playback from LED arrays on the surfaces of the vehicles surrounded by green screen, or does it require projection and LED array walls in-camera to substitute green screen and capture all environments at the same time? The 2nd option offers more creative control on set while saving time and money.
Two.) What is the type or size of the vehicle(s) that will be placed into the projection/LED interactive lighting set-up?
Trio.) Are there storyboards illustrating camera angles of these shots? PRG`s engineering team will need to determine the overall dimensions required for each LED array wall.
Four.) Stage dimensions. Does the stage have existing truss structure?
Five.) Which camera(s) and lenses will be used?
6.) What are the framework rate(s)?
7.) Will the ground-supported LED walls need to be mobile if the LED walls are in-camera?
Before creating a sequence with PRG, all the plate shots will need to be ready before shooting starts. To begin, capture, color correct and edit all plate shots prior to ingesting in our media server for playback on set. The higher the framework rate the plates are captured, the smoother the pictures are displayed, should we agree to slow down during playback. After the plate shots are captured, editorial will need to commence clips in the same scenes at the same time, saving production time. They should all be in the ProRess four hundred twenty two LT or ProRess four hundred twenty two codecs with less than a one hundred fifty Mb/s bit rate. Eventually, the naming convention for the folders should be Folder Number.SceneNumber, embarking at 101. For example, all clips associated with Scene twenty would be in folder 101.Sc20. Likewise, the naming convention for files should be FileNumber.SceneNumber_CAM, beginning at 001. For example, the individual files in the 101.Sc20 folder would be 001.Sc20_Forward002.Sc20_Rear003.Sc20_Left.
With any production, the key to collective success, both creatively and budgetary, is to begin the planning and engineering as soon as possible. Contact PRG today to discuss using the OverDrive Interactive LED Lighting solution.
