Virtual production studio X3D aims for top global projects
June 20, 2024
|The Straits Times
Its technology allows realistic visual effects to be displayed on camera in real time
Beneath the soaring ceilings of what was a power station in a previous life is a pioneering studio that seeks to draw out Singapore’s potential to meet the high-tech production needs of global film-makers.
Ms Karen Seah, co-founder of X3D Studio, had those lofty ambitions in mind when she launched the virtual production studio on June 19 following an $8 million refurbishment of 25 Pasir Panjang Road.
At 40,000 sq ft, the facility is the largest of its type in South-east Asia.
It employs the same virtual production technology used to create the immersive settings seen in visually arresting blockbusters such as The Mandalorian and Korean-language Netflix hit Queen Of Tears.
Virtual production involves specialised screens, cameras, lighting rigs and virtual objects working in concert to create dynamic and realistic visual effects displayed on camera in real time, rather than created after filming, Ms Seah said.
