On MAKE. ART. NOW., the team embarked on a daring experiment involving a massive Sony Bravia LED TV and a custom-built orbiting Production Studio. Sony dared them to integrate the TV into their filmmaking process, despite warnings of potential mishaps. The $7,000 TV boasted impressive features like a full array LED and HDMI ports supporting up to 120 htz, essential for virtual production. With the TV's sound-enhancing Tweeter Arrangement and high refresh rate, the team delved into testing its capabilities with Unreal Engine 5.4, facing challenges like wireless tethering to iPhones.
Undeterred by obstacles, the team forged ahead, constructing a bracket to secure the behemoth TV and powering it with a DJI Power Station. Through clever modifications and strategic counterbalancing, they managed to mount the TV on the orbit successfully. With a Sony zb1 camera in play, they shot a plate and tested the setup, ultimately achieving their ambitious goal. Despite initial doubts and technical hurdles, the team's perseverance and ingenuity prevailed, showcasing the potential of merging cutting-edge technology with traditional filmmaking techniques.
The team's journey on MAKE. ART. NOW. exemplified a fusion of innovation and practicality, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of filmmaking. By seamlessly integrating the Sony Bravia TV into their setup, they demonstrated the power of combining state-of-the-art equipment with creative solutions. Through meticulous planning, skillful modifications, and relentless determination, they transformed a seemingly impossible vision into a tangible reality. This daring experiment not only showcased the team's technical prowess but also highlighted the endless possibilities when imagination meets cutting-edge technology in the world of filmmaking.
