The Stage

How a session runs

How a shoot day runs

Brief

Script, shot list, or reference. We come back with a session plan and a number within one business day.

Previz prep

Your characters and environments loaded into Unreal before shoot day, so you direct against your world, not gray mannequins.

Shoot day

You call takes remotely through the live Unreal feed or on-site. Selects are marked before the session ends.

Same-day solve

Cleanup, solve, and retarget happen the same day for standard sessions. No week-long wait to find out what you got.

Delivery

Data in your format, to your naming conventions, in your pipeline. Or it stays with us and comes back as finished shots.

Remote direction

Directing remotely

A session streams as one synchronised multiview, not a single camera. Stage cameras, a facial camera on each performer, the live Unreal previz, and the OptiTrack solve all arrive together on a shared timecode, so you are watching the performance and the shot at the same moment.

We built the streaming system ourselves to keep the delay down. Directors in Europe and the US work at under 200ms of latency, close enough to stop a take while it is still running. You call retakes as you would on your own stage, and we lock selects before the session ends.

Distance is the question we get asked about most. In practice the time difference works in your favour: notes you send at the end of your day arrive at the start of ours, so fixes are usually ready by your next morning.
