Tailgate | DeepSpace and VR
Virtual production played a significant role during the pre-production of 'Tailgate' (Bumperkleef). Planet X Technologies' VR platform DeepSpace was used to plan the complex logistics of shooting on a closed-down highway.
DeepSpace uses VR to the filmmaker into a virtual version of your film set. A physical camera you’re holding allows you to try angles and change lenses to find the perfect shot. After your session, visit the web-platform and download clips and data to share with editors and other heads of department.
Stepping into a virtual version of a future film set allows the DOP and director to simulate a shooting day. Trying out different angles and lenses while covering long runs of action (that can be downloaded as Quicktime clips afterwards), provides ample footage for creating detailed previs. The results can be used to brief other heads of department or crew on all levels of involvement.
