The Role of LED Panels in Virtual Productions

The evolution of Unreal and renders has provided a combination of technologies that allows filmmakers to replace their green screens with LED panels that can display scenes and visual effects in real time directly from the recording set.

This presentation will objectively bring these and other clarifications as well as reflections on the use of LED panels in their most noble application.
