VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
The cutting-edge filmmaking process that's sweeping the commercial and TV production world—and the new tools that are making it easier than ever.

HERE'S THE THING,
WE USED TO SHOOT EVERYTHING IN THE STUDIO, LIKE THIS:
It wasn't terribly flexible to stay in the studio 100% of the time, but it was predictable and efficient.

BUT AUDIENCES WANTED HIGHER QUALITY STORIES. STORIES THAT TOOK THEM TO MORE PLACES.
To make movie-quality TV and commercials, we started shooting more and more on-location—or building incredibly expensive sets that gave us more variety of scenes and situations.
AND THE GOOD NEWS:
TECHNOLOGY IS NOW ALLOWING US TO BRING HIGH QUALITY LOCATIONS TO US—BACK TO OUR STUDIOS.

Welcome to virtual production.

SHOWRUNNER MAKES IT EASIER FOR FILMMAKERS TO MANAGE VIRTUAL PRODUCTION.
-
EASILY MANAGE YOUR LED VOLUME
Virtual backgrounds have to look right, or else your scenes look fake. SHOWRUNNER's software helps automate the process of making the virtual look real to the human eye. -
TAKE CONTROL OF THE VIRTUAL WORLD
3D environments and virtual objects, lighting, and more require technical crew to manipulate. SHOWRUNNER Makes it easier for traditional film crews and directors to work with their virtual technicians—and easily manage some virtual tools themselves. -
SPEED UP YOUR SHOOT DAYS
SHOWRUNNER helps you speed up the pre-lighting process, and speed the transition from planning to production, while making everything look more realistic. -
TECHNICAL SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT
SHOWRUNNER gives film crews peace of mind when running virtual productions; our experts are here for your support whenever you need it.

SHOWRUNNER LOWERS THE TECHNICAL BARRIER TO VIRTUAL PRODUCTION—SO YOU CAN MANAGE YOUR VIRTUAL SET LIKE YOU MANAGE A TRADITIONAL SET.
Like Squarespace did for building websites, SHOWRUNNER makes it possible for the average creative person to manage a virtual production shoot.
