Fascinating stuff. And white carpets… thank goodness we’ve moved on, not least for the cleaners.
Is it fair to say more can be done on film set (and even outside) now or are studios with controlled conditions still the gold standard?
Yes that is fair to sa more CAN be done on a regular set. Both inertial suits and technology advancements make this possible. I wouldn't say there is a "Gold Standard" necessarily unless we are talking about something specific. Like, if you wanted Tiger Woods exact golf swing you would want him to do that in our studio. But if needs dictate overall it's better to capture She Hulk in the studio lot for a scene instead on our MoCap stage, we can do that. It just depends on the needs of the show, the budget, the particular sequence needs. Markless MoCap is being integrated into virtual productions on LED Volumes and also people still do MoCap and Performance Capture on traditional MoCap stages. We are doing more and more videogames these days and a little less feature and episodic work overall.
