Digital Twins & LED Walls: Outdoor Filming, Reimagined Indoors
3.7.2025
On-location filming has long been considered a necessary challenge in the film and advertising industries — essential for authenticity, yet burdened by logistical and financial complexities. From scouting suitable locations to dealing with weather conditions, permits, and transportation, the process is filled with potential risks. Today, however, advanced technologies make it possible to move this type of production into the controlled environment of a studio — without compromising visual authenticity.
The solution? Digital twins combined with LED backdrops or green screen technology..
On-Location Filming Logistics: Cost Factor or Creative Roadblock?
Every outdoor production faces the same questions:
- How long will it take to scout and secure the location?
- What are the weather-related risks?
- Where will we obtain permits, and how much will they cost?
- How do we transport all the equipment and crew?
While on-location shooting offers a degree of realism, it is increasingly less justified when alternatives exist that provide greater control, lower costs, increased flexibility, and preservation of scene authenticity.
Filming outdoor scenes directly in the studio? Yes, with the help of digital twins.
A digital twin is a high-quality 3D reconstruction of a real environment — whether it’s an urban center, natural landscape, or architectural structure. Once created, it can be used as a backdrop or setting for scenes. Combined with LED volumetric screens, creators gain complete control over lighting, perspective, and atmosphere.
A key advantage over traditional green screens is that LED backdrop projects realistic light dynamics during filming, resulting in less post-production work and a more natural look on set.
What Does This Approach Offer?
- Complete filming control — no impact from weather conditions, permits, or location access.
- Real-time visualization — the production crew sees the background live during filming.
- Reduced costs — eliminates transportation, location scouting, and unexpected delays.
- Flexible camera dynamics — the camera moves freely while the background perspective adjusts seamlessly.
- Repeatability — every shot can be precisely reproduced at any time.
How Do Digital Twins Work in Real Time?
Traditional 3D models often require time-consuming rendering processes, which limit their practical use during production. Our solutions leverage cutting-edge technologies like Gaussian Splatting, enabling the display of complex environments without the need for pre-rendering. This innovation allows directors, cinematographers, and production crews to rotate views, adjust compositions, and create virtual movements in real time — all with zero latency.
This level of flexibility empowers productions to operate swiftly and efficiently, without compromising on visual realism or quality.
