3D film production, in 8K resolution at 60fps.
One global music star.
8hrs of 8K rushes.
A world first delivery in interactive 3D VR.
Film production took place over 2 days in London in February 2020 and with an innovative approach to interview capture, we were honoured to work with the a true legend of the music industry. Responsible for writing and producing hits that have sold over $2b. He helped shape the careers of Diana Ross, Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran. He moulded funk and disco to create Chic, and was a pivotal force in the 70s and 80s, before helping Daft Punk write the single of the century with “Get Lucky”. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and is now Chief Creative advisor to Abbey Road studios. We were honoured to spend 2 full days filming with the legend that is Nile Rodgers!
The production marked the culmination of a year of VR filming research and a project launched with Forever Holdings, Bright White ltd and Manchester Metropolitan University. The studio and soundstage was enormous, requiring high intensity film lighting with precise flagging and light control. Each minute of the shoot was maximised to deliver as much useable footage as possible.
Once COVID restrictions hit the UK, all post production took place remotely taking advantage of advanced remote workflows and post production that pushed boundaries to deliver files in a resolution and quality that is usually reserved for feature films. 8K film, 8K grading, 8K editing and 8K deliverables in both High Dynamic Range and Standard Dynamic Range.
Launched on the 24th of March as an online experience, we are hugely proud of this project. It can be viewed on the link below, or via Abbey Road’s website, or the National Portrait Gallery’s website.
