Story
In a town succumbed to the vicious rule of the Porter Gang, the people of 'Fernhill' must overcome their duelling identities to break free from a world defined by machismo conflict and redundant righteous violence.
Virtual Production
Using a combination of Mo-Sys tracking systems & Blackmagic Cameras, we are able to transform SODA's Green Screen Studio into a real-time rendered environment. Inspired by Disney's approach to virtual production, we will integrate this system with Unreal Engine and convert these rendered worlds, usually reserved for video games, into our 3D virtual set. Please see our test footage/footage already filmed for reference.
