Unreal Engine VFX Breakdown Jetset Cine - Virtual Production 

@@fredyrmz1 Thanks! We are chroma keying our footage in DaVinci Resolve, exporting it as pre-keyed EXR, and compositing in Unreal Engine 5.4.

Hey, that's great! Based on the videos I've seen, I think the Vive Mars does a good job of tracking. However, since it only supports the Free-D protocol, it will only work with the Broadcast version of Aximmetry.

Thanks! In this breakdown, we are mostly showing the 11mm shots, so everything is in focus. However, we also used a 35mm lens, which has depth of field (DOF). Jetset Cine automatically measured the focus distance using the iPhone’s onboard LiDAR focusing systems, and this information is also carried into Unreal Engine. It works well for shots where the focus is on the primary subject in the frame.

@@creativetwins02 Sounds excellent. Do you export EXRs out of UE, to control the depth pass in post, or do you render the DOF?

⁠​⁠​⁠@@tobiasfalk9112We render the EXR files with the DOF applied, without using a depth pass.

@@creativetwins02 That's probably the most efficient workflow. I've used Sigma'smart' cine lenses with VP, but I don't think the lens metadata really works in UE, at least not yet. Have you tried any lens encoders?

@@tobiasfalk9112 We haven’t used any lens encoders yet, but I’ve seen that most people use the Glassmark lens encoder.

Hey, we have tutorials on our Patreon page: www.patreon.com/CreativeTwins

Hi, Thanks. When it comes to virtual production, if your budget allows for an LED wall, it can provide a more immersive experience for the actors and crew. However, if an LED wall is out of budget, using green screen with tools like Lightcraft Jetset Cine still offers advantages. These tools allow the cameraman to see the virtual environment in real-time, helping with framing, lighting, and overall scene composition. Lightcraft Jetset Cine also tracks camera movement in real-time, which can save time in post-production and give you a better idea of the final look during the shoot. In the end, it depends on what fits your budget and needs.

Hey, we use an iPhone 14 Pro Max with Lightcraft Jetset Cine for camera tracking.

The Accsoon SeeMo is mounted underneath the camera and used only at the beginning for lens calibration. After that, it can be unplugged.
