Sony will hold the background production contest "BACKDROP 2022" for "Virtual Production", which is attracting attention as a new method of video production.The recruitment period is until February 28.
"Virtual Production" is one of the new video production methods using large displays and game engines.The contest has been created using a digital location game engine with the aim of finding a next -generation "digital location creator", which supports this method, which will play a major role in video production in the future., We are looking for a 3DCG background as "someday someday."
The works selected as the highest award -winning work will be used in the actual shooting studio as the background of virtual production and producing sample movies.
* Virtual production (LED WALL + IN-Camera VFX) is one of the shooting methods that combines large LED displays, camera tracking and real-time engine.By displaying the virtual background on the display, and shooting objects and people in the real space with a camera, we realize a video production in which CG and live -action are combined without post -processing.
