Affordable Virtual Production Studios featured at NAB 2022 with Sean von Tagen, President, Pro Cyc and DisruptAR

Interview with Sean von Tagen, President, Pro Cyc at NAB 2022. Pro Cyc showcased their modular cycloramas and professional green screen backgrounds for photography, video and virtual production studios.

Pro Cyc teamed up with DisruptAR, Panasonic and Mo-Sys at NAB 2022 to demonstrate their integrated virtual production studio suite.

The affordable virtual production system incorporated multiple sizes of Pro Cyc chromakey cyclorama walls, LED lighting, live virtual sets powered by DisruptAR's Unreal Engine plugin. DisruptAR combined a Panasonic PTZ AW-UE150 camera and ENG camera on a jib encoded with Mo-Sys Star Tracker .

The music video for “Hall of Egress” by the von Tagen Brothers was shot entirely on a Pro Cyc chromakey in a garage using Unreal Engine. Two Pro Cyc portable chromakey screens, a PC-160 and a PC-80 were joined together to create a 14’ x 8’ two-wall green screen cyclorama. DisruptAR created the virtual set and handled all aspects of the video shoot. Equipment used included PTZ cameras by Panasonic and compositing with a Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 Keyer . Lighting was provided by Kinoflow.
