Locascope - Virtual Filming

探索使用新技术促进英国电视和电影业回归制作：*利用现有和新技术实现远程工作；*利用新技术实现虚拟侦察；*利用新技术创建虚拟布景；*使用现有的运动控制技术在虚拟布景中拍摄动作。**远程工作：**既定的拍摄做法要求制作团队在摄影棚或现场在场。这可以被现有的和新的会议技术相结合来取代，以实现群体决策。**虚拟审查：*传统的生产方式依靠“技术审查”来决定地点，由部门负责人参加。使用新技术可以有效地取代这一点，创建一个360度可控的漫游，部门负责人可以同时远程查看。**虚拟布景：*激光雷达摄影可以用来以高清晰度“捕捉”一个地点的内部。这张照片(“Locascope”)存在于数字世界中，是对拍摄地点内部的一个完整的3-D表示。**虚拟布景中的电影动作：*现有的动作控制装置可以设置在--在世界上任何地方的任何摄影棚里--来拍摄演员和看起来在拍摄地点内部的动作。每个围绕前景动作的相机动作都将看起来是在拍摄地点本身。因此，电影明星可能是在好莱坞(或宝莱坞)的制片厂拍摄的，但动作似乎发生在例如英国的豪宅里。Location Works拥有快速访问英国历史和敏感地点的关系网和从属关系，支持Locascope扫描，重启制作以让工作人员重新工作，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.
