What is Virtual Studio?

Virtual Studio refers to a technology that allows you to recreate a three-dimensional virtual space by combining the background and environment created using graphic technology on a two-dimensional screen of an existing set. The development of computer graphics and VFX has enabled us to visualize unrealistic stories and imaginations, and many SF/Fantasy films have been able to reach the audience through this technology. Virtual Studio, a technology to transcend space-and-reality, is promising as the next generation of the film and media industry by reducing cost, time and space constraints and allowing filmmakers to freely create what they want.
