Locascope - Virtual Filming

探索使用新科技，促进英国电视及电影工业回归制作：*利用现有及新科技，实现远程工作；*利用新技术进行虚拟侦察；*利用新技术创建虚拟集；*使用现有的动作控制技术来拍摄虚拟场景中的动作。**远程工作：***既定的拍摄实践需要一个制作团队出现在演播室或现场。这可以被现有和新的会议技术的结合所取代，以实现群体决策。**虚拟会议：***传统的生产方法依靠“技术会议”来决定地点，由部门主管参加。这可以用新技术有效地取代，创造一个360度可控的演练，可以由部门主管同时远程查看。**虚拟场景：***激光雷达摄影可用于“捕捉”高清晰度内部位置。这种捕捉（一个“Locascope”）存在于数字世界中，作为位置内部的完整3d表示。**在虚拟场景中拍摄动作：**可以在世界上任何地方的任何工作室中设置现有的运动控制设备来拍摄演员和动作，这些动作将出现在该位置的内部。每一个镜头在前景周围的动作看起来都是在这个位置本身拍摄的。因此，电影明星可能是在好莱坞（或宝莱坞）的制片厂拍摄的，但动作似乎是发生在英国的豪宅里。Location Works拥有连接和隶属关系，可以快速访问英国的历史和敏感地点，启用Locascope扫描，重新启动生产以使工作人员再次工作，并为地点所有者打开重要的收入来源。

To explore the use of new technology to facilitate the return of the UK television and film industries into production:* make use of existing and new technologies to enable remote working;* exploit new technologies to permit a _virtual_ recce (reconnaissance);* exploit new technologies to create a _virtual_ set;* use existing motion-control technology to film action in the virtual set.**Remote working:*** established filming practices require a production team to be present in the studio or on location. This can be replaced by a marriage of existing and new conferencing technologies to enable group decision-making.**A virtual recce:*** traditional production methods rely upon a "technical recce" to decide on a location, attended by heads of department. This can effectively be replaced using new techniques to create a 360-degree controllable walk-through that can be remotely viewed simultaneously by department heads.**A virtual set:*** LiDAR photography can be used to "capture" a location interior in high definition. This capture (a "Locascope") exists in the digital world as a full 3-D representation of the location interior.**Film action in the virtual set:*** existing motion-control rigs can then be set up - _in any studio anywhere in the world_ - to film actors and action that will appear to be within the location interior.Each camera motion around the foreground action will appear to have been shot in the location itself. Thus a movie star may be filmed in a Hollywood (or Bollywood) studio but the action appears to be taking place in, for example, an English stately home.Location Works has the connections and affiliations to quickly access historic and sensitive locations in the UK, enable Locascope scanning, restart production to get crews working again, and open vital revenue streams to location owners.
