Our virtual production backplates provide film and TV producers with authentic, high-resolution cityscapes and 360 plates for LED volumes and greenscreen workflows. Each scene is captured photographically (not CG), delivering the realism, depth and lighting detail needed for today’s virtual staging and large-format productions.
Who we are
I am a dedicated 360 and panoramic photographer, and have been specialising in large-scale images for over 2 decades. Camera technology has evolved but the main principles of shooting and stitching 360 images remains the same. Only relatively recently has more powerful computing democratised virtual production, thus allowing all studios, whatever their size, cost-effective access to advanced virtual production.
My team includes a dedicated producer, plus a skilled team we bring in as and when needed depending on the project brief. Working with my company Eye Revolution, we can access more photographers and studio operators for larger productions. Clients include Apple, Land Rover, the BBC, Rolls Royce, and many more. Our virtual production backplates have been used in a huge range of environments, from large format digital to green screen, from translights to car interiors, kiosks to wallpapers, and increasingly in LED volumes.
Services
Every project is different. My team and I have long experience in tailoring images for a wide variety of platforms. This helps our clients ensure they have the best possible capture to suit their brief. This might be high dynamic range, high resolution 360 or panoramic footage, or pixel-registered day-night transitions. For backgrounds with movement, we can utilise the best available equipment to create 360 video for backgrounds.
Often, clients come to me to access the library of hi-res images I’ve built up over the years, whether that’s gigapixel images, 360 content or car interiors. I’ve shot from a huge variety of locations from London cityscapes from cranes atop tall buildings, to offshore oil rigs, to desert 360s. Other clients require content commissioned to order. Whatever you need and however tricky the location, we’d love to hear about it.
Some of the work we’ve undertaken recently include providing cityscape backgrounds for The Woman in Cabin 10 (Netflix); a music video that reached No.2 in the UK Dance Chart; translights for a TV series in Norway, cutting the need for the crew to location scout and shoot in London; a backdrop for the Sky News studio; images for the LED volume for a Vodafone MENA campaign; and providing licensable assets for a major UK filming location for multiple sites that cannot be easily accessed by full film crews.
