NYU’s Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center Earns LEED Platinum NYU’s Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center achieved LEED Platinum certification and will receive a LEED Platinum plaque presented by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) at a ceremony March 25. This is the university’s first LEED Platinum Commercial Interior project and another milestone in its sustainability efforts. The highest level of certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, the Platinum certification celebrates the state-of-the-art facility Industry City in Brooklyn that opened last fall. It is the latest climate achievement for the Tisch School of the Arts, which is a member of the Green Film School Alliance. In addition to achieving LEED Platinum, the virtual production center has adopted stringent environmental guidelines used in professional film production, including restrictions on the use of plastic bottles, preference for rented rather than newly built sets, and the donation of props and other materials to local organizations. The Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center opened in September and was made possible by a donation from the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundations by Mellody Hobson, co-CEO of Ariel Investments, and filmmaker George Lucas. The largest gift in the history of the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, it funds the state-of-the-art center as well as the Martin Scorsese Institute of Global Cinematic Arts and scholarships. “We are committed to positioning Tisch at the forefront of innovative filmmaking technologies while upholding our responsibility to sustainable practices that protect our planet, and are absolutely thrilled with the new facility,” says Tisch Dean Allyson Green. “These advancements wouldn’t be possible without the support and generosity of the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundations, led by Mellody Hobson and filmmaker George Lucas.” Read More Here! https://lnkd.in/eNAiqGAd https://lnkd.in/eUK9hnZt Lux Machina Consulting Lux Stage NEP Group, Inc.

In immersive filmmaking,?camera movement is a tricky subject. While traditional cinema relies on dynamic shots to add drama and depth into a scene, filmmakers creating content for headsets have often shied away from movement out of fear it would cause motion sickness. After all, in immersive, viewers control their perspective, and adding movement could disrupt that delicate balance. But #Apple, ever the pioneers of pushing the boundaries of technology, decided it was time to break that mould. Discontent with simply delivering a passive show – they wanted to, for their new?Concert for One?series, create something that felt truly transportive. And who better to team up with than #Metallica, the band with an insatiable desire to flip the usual rock-and-roll power dynamic, offering their music in ways that would make the average diva balk.? But doing this, of course, requires some rather clever technology. To give audiences the feeling of being “in the moment”, movement was essential – and not just any movement, but the kind that feels natural and immersive without making viewers reach for their sea-sickness wristbands.? And while the production used some experimental tech – tools long employed in traditional 2D filmmaking – it was Motion Impossible’s AGITO Cine that proved crucial for static repositioning and subtle vertical movement. Evolved from the M-Series, a robotic dolly that carved its niche in VR/360, AGITO Cine is a modular, remote-controlled system tailored to high-end film, TV and immersive content. With its deep experience in this space, Motion Impossible delivered movement?that felt subtle. Typically seen tracking subjects at speeds up to 17mph and down to more deliberate movements as slow of 0.5cm/s, AGITO Cine found a new purpose in Apple Immersive Video’s?Metallica.?Using two systems, paired with the AGITO Column, its role was to facilitate rapid static repositioning. But it wasn’t just about getting into position and capturing the action as it unfolded; AGITO Cine also delivered precise and remote vertical movement, offering low and eye-level perspectives that deepened the scale of the performance.? Now, you might be thinking: why not just use multiple tripods? Well, the venue itself with its large circular stage and the “snake pit” (which, for the uninitiated, is a 360-degree fan zone right in the centre of the stage), required something more flexible. To have cameras littering the venue, each perched awkwardly on tripods, would’ve been both practically difficult and visually distracting. The space was already tight enough with the massive audience and adding more cameras would only have created a cluttered, chaotic environment. Rob Drewett, CEO & co-founder of #MotionImpossible adds, “Not to mention, it’d be costly and time-consuming.” Want the full story?

"If you can't be there, be at Cosm."

Super proud and excited to have worked with NBC Sports to make this happen at All Mobile Video! “The timing is perfect...because we are actively in planning stages right now for all of our fall sports launches — college football, college basketball, NFL, and NBA — and then we have Olympics and Super Bowl coming up next year. We have a lot on our plate, and this allows us to bring all the key leaders from across the company together to have open conversations with vendors and product owners.” ??
