It was the first time all these things came together – in a real application of new technology – VR – coming together with multi-user workflows and old school cinematography. There’s another person on another monitor seeing another slice of the scene, but they're not in sync.įor us, it was the first time we had people walking around the set, in real-time using VR, as if it were a real set, talking to each other, showing things to each other, and moving things together. Usually this is a lone experience where you have one person on a monitor seeing only a little slice of the scene. It was a way of scouting and replicating a real location, but virtually. They could each see what each other was doing, looking at the same setup in VR, and moving things around together. Can you talk about what that means?Ī - With The Lion King, we had our first prototype of a multi-user interaction system where multiple people could work at the same time, on the same stage, sharing the same scene and manipulating it in real time together. Q - The Lion King has been called a milestone in virtual production. MPC’s Francesco Giordana talks about the technology – and the milestones achieved on The Lion King.
Technicolor’s MPC Film was a creative partner with the filmmakers of The Lion King from beginning to end – from when VFX Supervisor Adam Valdez first pitched a methodology to Disney and director Jon Favreau in October 2016 while they were still wrapping up The Jungle Book – through location scouting and virtual production and on to responsibilities for all VFX and Animation.
