In-Camera VFX
In-camera Visual Effects or “ICVFX” as it is commonly known, is an evolution in methodologies of projection-based film making that have their roots in the dawn of cinema. Leveraging state of the art LED displays and real-time rendering engines, scenes can be captured in the moment of principal photography, whereas traditionally they would have evolved over a long post production process.
