Lead Participant:
INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC (UK) LTD
Abstract
On Set Compositing for Digital Actors in Immersive Real-time Cinematic Content is an eighteen month project
that aims to revolutionise digital acting and media across the entertainments industry, from feature films and
TV, to theme parks and social apps. Industrial Light & Magic (UK) Ltd. and Disney Research (UK) will collaborate
to spark a creative revolution by reinventing the way cinematic content is created and produced. By merging
post-production with production, artists will become a core part of the front-line creative team–enabling
interactive exploration & discovery. There will also be a step change in efficiency: content that takes weeks to
create can be achieved in days, even hours. The partnership will build a common platform for next-generation
content creation and production, which is key to sustaining the UK’s place at the forefront of the creative
industries
