Verizon Virtual Production Keynote
Overview
The Directors from Aggressive approached to us to help them to produce the next Keynote from Verizon.
The company wanted to create a 40 minute video explaining the launching of their 5G network, and all the amazing details of this new service. They wanted to make a different kind of Keynote, more like entertainment show and easy to watch, so they splitted the content in small thematic chapters partnering with different companies like Disney, Apple, NFL and Niantic, each one in presented in a different space.
Because the tight schedule to produce, shoot and post produce the hole film, we decided to use a Virtual Production pipeline to make it work.
Tigrelab was in charge to create all the XR content. We created multiple virtual sets with Unreal engine and Notch, to shoot this huge project in just 4 days in Los Angeles.

Process
The preproduction of the hole show was really challenging, because we had to create 8 digital environments in a really tight deadline. There was one main stage that we used as generic space that was used in several parts of the show, we created a complete rig of dynamic lights to change completely the mood and style of this digital set, making it really flexible and polyvalent with just a couple of tweaks of color and light.
Among the different environments we created with unreal Engine, we made a couple of XR sets with Notch, because we needed a fast a snd simple tool to create dynamic exposable events, for example dynamic bulbs of light for the performance of Britanny Howard, creating audio-reactive content and behaviours with just a simple Black and White map.
Something new that we tested on this show was to create a live interview among to people on different locations. We projected a complete live action environment on real time in to a XR stage, connecting two remote locations in to a single shot without CG or VFX, create a Live in the moment conversation.
