Hundreds of LED panels will be snapped together to create a virtual studio.
“There’s hundreds and hundreds of these. They’re LED panels and they make up the wall that gets utilized as part of the background for virtual production,” Stephen Hall, a Regina film director, told CTV News.
The panels will create a wraparound wall 28 feet tall. It will fill half of the massive Regina studio.
“So when the camera moves, the background can move in 3D so it mimics something called parallax,” Hall explained.
