Production Journey
Concept Development
Team pitched and selected the retro-futuristic train station concept. Established key principles: interactive stage elements, manageable scope, visual storytelling priority, and familiar yet unique setting.
Foundation & Planning
Production design initiated mood boards. Script development began with multiple iterations. Technical team established Perforce workspace, naming conventions, and collaborative file structure.
Asset Development
Finalized script and set layout. Created asset sheets for team assignments. UE team began blockout with kitbashed assets. Production design started material tests and detailed blueprints.
Pre-Production Refinement
Actors cast, costume design initiated. Finalized blueprints and material swatches. Shot schedule created with lighting diagrams and equipment lists prepared.
First Load Test
Initial XR stage testing revealed screen-to-camera translation nuances. Composition and color correction adjustments made. Team identified spatial limitations and developed alternative solutions.
Refinement Phase
Replaced kitbashes with custom assets. Texturing and set dressing accelerated. Lighting implementation advanced. Adjusted foliage and debris based on design feedback and optimization needs.
Shoot Days
Final touches to virtual and physical scenes. Photoscanned debris integration. Real-time color matching and optimization on stage. Multiple technical challenges resolved through team collaboration.
Post-Production Begins
File transfer and data organization. Created post-production task spreadsheet. Rough edit completed with team review for pacing and composition improvements.
Final Polish
CG shot reviews and iterations. BTS documentation editing. Website development and asset turntables creation. Sound design collaboration initiated.
