We were honoured to take part in the Innovation Day at the Színház- és Filmművészeti Egyetem this week, an event dedicated to exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the arts, from theatre and film to dramaturgy.

Our Managing Director, Zoltán Simon, delivered a keynote on the role of AI in professional film production: how emerging tools are evolving from experimentation into everyday workflows, streamlining pre-production, enhancing worldbuilding, and enabling faster, more cost-efficient content creation. He also joined a roundtable discussion with Szabolcs Fejes and János Szikora, reflecting on AI as a collaborator or creator and how these technologies may transform the work of future storytellers.

A big thank you to SZFE for the invitation and the inspiring conversations. The dialogue between technology and art has never been more exciting, and we are always glad to contribute to it.

We've already shared the news, but in case you missed it: we've entered into a strategic partnership with Orbital Virtual Studios, one of Hollywood’s leading virtual production studios. 🤝

Here’s the moment it was announced in Los Angeles — an important milestone for us and for the Hungarian film industry.

We’ve got big news.

After more than a year of discussions, we have entered into a strategic partnership with Orbital Virtual Studios to advance the real-world use of virtual production and strengthen cross-continental collaboration. Our focus is on sharing proven practices, refining workflows, co-developing new approaches, and launching joint projects that push the technology even further. This will enable productions on both sides of the Atlantic to benefit from the same high level of creative opportunity and technological excellence.

For filmmakers, the advantages are clear: greater in-camera control, fewer company moves, faster turnaround times, stronger cost efficiency, and a smaller environmental footprint — all while maintaining uncompromising image quality. Through joint development and continuous knowledge exchange, our goal is to unlock even more of these benefits.

We’re ready to collaborate. Let’s build the next generation of production. 🤝

AFM-bound. ✈️
We’ll be at one of the year’s biggest film industry events at the Fairmont Century Plaza, LA. Keep an eye out for the United Illusions stand and let’s talk virtual production: a flexible, fast, cost-efficient, and sustainable way to shoot.

Come get inspired together! 🙌

American Film Market

The true power of virtual production lies in fast, sustainable, and cost-efficient filmmaking. It solves one of the biggest challenges in traditional production: aligning locations and radically different worlds to the shooting schedule. What to capture, where, and when.

Imagine this: a gritty, post-apocalyptic Mars landing, followed by a sun-drenched car spot on palm-lined Los Angeles streets, all in the same day.

With virtual production, that switch takes minutes. When the VP workflow is properly prepped, you can spin up entirely different worlds on the same stage in a matter of minutes. No travel, no permits, no company moves. Our new timelapse shows a full set and background flip in just 25 minutes. And this isn’t a one-off: we’ve run days with seven distinct looks on a single stage, at a speed and cost profile that traditional methods simply can’t match. 🎬

Virtual production is inherently greener: fewer flights, fewer physical builds, and reusable digital worlds. We’ve now pushed that advantage further, as our new solar array powers the studio almost entirely with renewables, bringing operational emissions close to zero. 🌱

For us, innovation isn’t just technology; it’s responsibility to the planet we create on.

ARRI

🎥 Excellence isn’t claimed, it’s certified.

ARRI-accredited: the global benchmark for studios that accept nothing less than precision. Not every stage earns ARRI’s trust. Ours did. And that trust is more than a badge, it’s proof that every workflow, every detail, from lighting systems to color management, from tracking integration to camera technology, and every creative decision here is built on up-to-date, documented, internationally verified practice.
The payoff: uncompromising production quality, maximum creative freedom, and the capability to service any brief at a truly professional standard.

What this means on set:
- LED volume: ROE Black Pearl BP2V2 (The Gold Standard) — 28×6 m curved main wall; 5.5×5.5 m tiltable/height-adjustable ceiling; 4×4 m mobile wall.
- ARRI end-to-end color pipeline: ALEXA 35 + ARRI Signature (Zoom/Primes), ARRI Live Link metadata; LogC4-based (ACES-compatible) workflow, calibrated show LUTs, on-set color management.
- Camera & lens tracking: stYpe RedSpy 4.0; zoom-encoded lens data; genlock/timecode sync to the Unreal cluster; precise frustum control.
- Lighting & control: 48×SkyPanel S60 + 10×Orbiter; grandMA3 control; DMX-linked, scene-driven lighting in real time.
- Real-time render workflow: Unreal Engine with nDisplay cluster; photometric and colorimetric calibration; preflight moiré/ghosting checks before every setup.
- Infrastructure: 3 stages (LED stage ~900 m² + 2×450 m²), drive-in access, full rigging grid, high-bandwidth links between brain bar and render nodes.

Last week we spent two energizing days at the AI Summit, where we didn’t just talk virtual production; we put it on its feet. Visitors test-drove a mini curved LED wall at our stand while we walked through end-to-end VP workflows both live and on stage.

In our two-hour film block, studio director Zoltan Simon spoke about AI’s impact on filmmaking in a talk and a roundtable, with guest speakers Brian Nitzkin and Nick Jones adding sharp, real-world perspective.

Big thanks, AI Summit Budapest! ✌
