A new £75 million virtual production studio is to be developed in Belfast to offer box office film and television producers world-leading technology.
Located at Studio Ulster, a virtual production campus at Belfast Harbour Studios, the facility will offer so-called real-time content production techniques using computer generated imagery, augmented reality and motion capture. The technology has already been used at the ABBA Voyage live concert at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London and on Disney’s hit show The Mandalorian.
Virtual production can enable filmmakers and theatre directors to create large-scale digitally-generated environments that performers can interact with in real-time using LED panels, as a faster and less expensive alternative to green screens.
