05 Mar Remote Production for Siemens
We are preparing for Remote Production for our customer Siemens. In the picture you see our crew, who are stand-in for the keynote speaker. The recording format will be in the 9:16 aspect ratio (portrait format), and will be LIVE-merged with 2 other remote locations (3 locations on Earth in total) – and together the 3 live recordings will form a 16: 9 aspect ratio (landscape format). Together with a digital backdrop (Virtual Set), the illusion will be that they are in the same room (same location).
