Mo-Sys Cinematic XR Focus allows focus pullers to seamlessly pull focus from real objects, through the LED wall, to focus on virtual objects that appear to be positioned behind the LED wall, using the same wireless lens control system they already use today. A reverse focus pull is equally possible.
Cost advantages and talent lighting benefits make final pixel LED volume shoots highly attractive now. LED volumes have predominantly been used as scene backdrops rather than part of an interactive studio but Cinematic XR enables dynamic interaction between real and virtual LED volume elements, elevating the realism of the shots.
Transforming virtual production, Cinematic XR Focus software, will enhance final pixel LED volume cinematography by enabling DoPs to pull focus between real foreground objects, like actors, and virtual LED displayed objects, like cars. This is something that was previously only achievable in a green/blue screen shoots with downstream post-production compositing.
Mo-Sys Cinematic XR Focus uniquely empowers virtual production filmmakers to shoot more creative shots and more ambitious setups, saving them valuable time and enhancing their storytelling. Utilising more of the creative cinematic toolset that is traditionally available to regular film crews, cinematographers now have the freedom with Cinematic XR Focus.
Mo-Sys Cinematic XR Focus synchronizes the lens controller with the Unreal Engine graphics, using Star Tracker to constantly track the distance between the camera and the LED wall. The software manages the transition between the lens controller driving the physical lens focus pull and Unreal Engine driving the virtual focus pull.
When deployed with VP Pro XR Multi-cam, Cinematic XR Focus can be integrated into multi-camera LED virtual production stages. This enables consistent virtual production focus pull behaviour across multiple cameras in XR studio environments.
Yes, Cinematic XR Focus is designed for use on LED wall virtual production and XR studios. It helps cinematographers achieve cinematic virtual production focus pull effects that match the creative language of traditional filmmaking.
Cinematic XR Focus depends on compatible motor control systems managed through VP Pro. In many cases it can interface with existing lens motors as part of a broader virtual studio software and hardware configuration.
By automating focus pulling based on calibrated depth data, Cinematic XR Focus reduces the complexity of manually matching focus between real and virtual layers. This leads to more precise and repeatable virtual production focus pull results in real time VFX workflows.
By adding intelligent focus control to real-time compositing and XR workflows, Cinematic XR Focus completes the creative toolset for virtual production cinematography. It ensures that virtual studio software, XR virtual production software and LED virtual production stages all support high-end cinematic focus pulling.
Cinematic XR Focus is part of the VP Pro feature set, controlling how far the real camera can throw focus, stopping short of the LED wall to avoid moiré, and then continuing to throw focus only with the virtual camera. This integration ensures consistent virtual production focus pulling in Unreal Engine broadcast graphics and XR virtual production software workflows.
Cinematic XR Focus relies on accurate camera tracking and lens distortion calibration from StarTracker and VP Pro. This data ensures that focus moves align with the true spatial relationship between real subjects and virtual studio sets or LED wall backgrounds.
Yes, Cinematic XR Focus works within VP Pro’s real-time compositing pipelines and is suitable for icvfx workflows on LED virtual production stages. Its ability to bridge real and virtual focus enhances final pixel virtual production quality.
It allows focus pullers and DPs to treat virtual elements as part of the same depth-of-field language as physical sets. This creates smoother, more cinematic virtual production focus pulling transitions and supports advanced XR Solutions cinematography.
Cinematic XR Focus is a Mo-Sys VP Pro feature that enables automatic focus pulling from real-world objects into the virtual world in XR workflows. It is critical in LED wall virtual production and mixed reality studios where focus pull decisions must span both physical and virtual elements.
