Vū Technologies, North America’s fastest-growing network of virtual production studios for the TV Commercial, Episodic, and Feature Film industry, reveals it played a key role in the production of the upcoming movie “Sympathy for the Devil,” starring Nicolas Cage and Joel Kinnaman.
Approximately half of the film was shot at the Vū Vegas 40,000 square-foot virtual production studio, giving the production team next-generation content rendering capabilities by shooting photo-realistic virtual environments in the LED studio instead of having to travel on location, saving both substantial costs and time.
Vū’s capabilities allowed for production to capture higher-quality and more dynamic footage at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional, on-location shooting.
Vū and Hammerstone worked with several key partners in producing “Sympathy for the Devil,” including the Nevada Film Office. Sony’s Venice II was the camera of choice for shooting the film, allowing for a superior image and consistency for blending virtual locations with their physical counterparts, and Aputure lighting was used throughout the film to provide advanced special effects lighting on-location and in-studio.
In addition to feature film work, Vū has worked with commercial enterprise clients such as Amazon, Mercedes, Apple, The Mill, Disney, ESPN, WWE and many more.
