Virtual Production For All Budgets

Whatever the size of the project, On set Visualisation tools can add value, visibility and control for clients. Award-winning VFX studio, REALTIME, will present recent case studies from a range of project sizes, alongside introducing their proprietary virtual camera tool and it's uses across the film, episodic, games and automotive industries.
