Red Robin Films, a North London-based bespoke Film and Commercials production company, owned and managed by Isobel Drane and Kieran Lowley, announces it's successful cast/crew screening of Hestia on Friday. Produced at Sony's Digital Media Production Centre Europe (DMPCE),?Hestia was produced using Sony's Crystal LED VERONA display system – which provided an incredibly realistic virtual backdrop for the space scenes. This technology allowed the filmmakers to create immersive, high-fidelity 3D environments that could be manipulated in real-time. As co-director Isobel Drane noted, "With the new Crystal LED panels, you have a virtual backdrop that's incredibly realistic, and looking through the viewfinder the black levels of Verona create a sensation of depth that make you forget you are looking at a screen at all". This level of immersion allowed Red Robin Films to create a space odyssey that rivals much larger productions. The virtual production techniques employed in Hestia allowed the team to optimize their workflow, using real-time visualization and interaction with digital environments. A British Cinematographer article covering the film states "The high brightness and antireflective properties of Verona allowed the production team to fill the room with light without worrying about washing out the LED. This created an immersive and emotional atmosphere in which camera operators could move freely in -- not dissimilar to the demands of shooting on location." This capability enabled Red Robin Films to achieve complex shots and create convincing space scenes without the need for expensive sets or location shoots. The success of Hestia demonstrates the potential that Treasury sees in spatial computing for transforming creative workflows. It shows how access to high-quality virtual environments can allow smaller teams to compete with larger productions in terms of visual spectacle and narrative scope. As we continue to help license and syndicate high-quality spatial environments at Treasury, projects like Hestia serve as inspiring examples of what's possible with powerful virtual production tools – and validate our commitment to fostering collaboration between creatives and technologists in this space. It's exciting to see how virtual environments and spatial computing are pushing the boundaries of storytelling, and we look forward to enabling more people to harness these technologies in their work.
