Is this the future of filmmaking?
Watch the clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d9ycMKf65U and share your thoughts. An indie creator has used Simulcam virtual production and a mobile app called Lightcraft Jetset to “film” a CG dragon in an Icelandic cave. The app tracks the camera and overlays the creature in real time, merging real‑world locations with digital elements.
Virtual production relies on game‑engine technology to build photorealistic sets that respond as you shoot, raising intriguing questions about where our industry is headed.
Does this kind of accessible tech democratise storytelling or redefine the craft entirely?
