Sometimes shooting on an LED volume only requires a handcrafted environment. We teamed up with our friends at The Bear last year to provide virtual production supervision, support, operation and our Stage 2 volume to produce this spot! Door No. 3 collaborated with the production teams to make this shoot possible. All backgrounds were created by our VAD team, with scanned photogrammetry assets and great reference photos provided, by The Bear team, to use as a starting point to build the scenes. This shoot was a wonderful example of simplifying the virtual production process by using photorealistic stills to project behind the talent with zero camera tracking. It was a blast working with The Bear team!

Congrats Matt Muir, Revelator & ButterCo! Loved supporting this badass project! It's Better. #virtualproduction #ledvolume

From features in AdWeek, Pointe Magazine and Dance Magazine, here are two of our favorite quotes. (On Virtual Production) “…having the ability to build these environments, build this world and live in this world—there’s really no other way to do it.” – Director Paul Michael Bloodgood (On Sales) …has the trailer translated to ticket sales? “It has,” says Bloodgood. “We’re having some of the best March ticket sales that we’ve ever had.” #VirtualProduction #LEDVolume #VirtigoPictures https://loom.ly/PwGrAvE
