Jump in to read more about the incredible new MyWorld - Bristol Bath Cimema and Studio in #Bristol. "The project is the brainchild of a team from Bristol University, working with Lux Machina Consulting; the company behind the technology that brought dragon flight to life in the Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon. This virtual production stage takes the place of green screens, so instead of the scenic elements being added during post-production, the actors and directors see ‘live’ dynamic LED backdrops of where the story takes place; it adds an extra layer of 'realism' to enhance their performances." Thanks to Writer/ Journalist Mark Cantrell. Read more in the link below. #MyWorld #LuxMachina #VirtualProduction #ICVFX
