Stage Precision SP, in charge of managing data from the VP Trilogy Studios sets

Trilogy Studios, a 9,144 square meter facility with three virtual production sets, has opted for SP software from Stage Precision to manage data between each of the studies, creating an “innovative and adaptable” VP environment.

During the design phase, Trilogy Studios collaborated with specialized integrators Optic8 and the engineer Roman Schoissengeier-Nagel to bring to life a complex virtual production infrastructure. In his own words: "The goal was to create a unified control solution across all three stages. Each stage required high-precision camera tracking and the ability to integrate dynamic content, leveraging tools like Unreal Engine and Pixera. It was also essential to build a system that could handle complex multi-stage shoots."

The team developed the production infrastructure for the three sets from Trilogy Studios, each adapted to specific production needs. El escenario 1, el más grande, cuenta con una pantalla LED de 47 metros de largo y 7 pies de alto, que proporciona la escala y el alcance necesarios para complejas escenas de inmersión. El escenario 2, el de procesamiento de coches, incorpora seis paredes LED móviles y cinco pantallas de techo motorizadas. El escenario 3 es una zona más compacta, adecuada para producciones comerciales.

The software SP, el cual proporciona una solución de seguimiento y datos para la gestión de todos los elementos del plató, se implantó en los tres platós, los cuales utilizan el sistema OptiTrack, for agilizar la gestión de los datos de seguimiento. Scenario 2 especially benefited from SP's ability to manage multi-screen tracking and freeze screen positions for more precise adjustments, given its moving LED screens.

Unifying three VP sets, at Trilogy Studios

Beyond the standard SP functions, such as advanced lens calibration, data visualization and data manipulation, its ability to unify control and data In all three scenarios it has meant a “radical change” at Trilogy Studios. The connection between the scenarios allows clients test content on a smaller scale before moving on to the main film stage, increasing efficiency and maximizing studio bookings. Schoissengeier-Nagel adds: "If they're shooting on Stage 1, they don't have to stop filming to test something. They can move the content to Stage 3 and experiment there."

The tool Gateway from Stage Precision, which allows remote control of Windows devices directly from SP, was also essential for access render nodes of the three sets. "We used a centralized NAS to store the Unreal Engine content and, with some custom coding, we were able to distribute this content to the different nodes. Using SP with Gateway allows us to run scripts and download content to the nodes remotely, which is a great advantage when managing multiple systems," he explains. Schoissengeier-Nagel.
