Versatile Media's Wasteland Project

DigiBC member Versatile Media recently created an internal project called Wasteland to demonstrate how efficient and creative their virtual production tools are to use and the creative freedom it provides directors. It showcases their virtual camera and live editing capabilities together with Unreal Engine 5. It's made up of 41 shots with diverse camera setups including drone, onboard vehicles, aerial and handheld shots. The one and a half minute story, from concept to final edit including sound design and colour grading, took less than three weeks to complete from initial concept to final pixel. The team included 6 VAD artists, 3 key creatives (editor, director, cinematographer) & 3 UE TDs. Watch now >>

Image Engine: Emmy Award Winner

DigiBC member Image Engine, a Vancouver-based visual effects studio for feature films and television, won the Emmy Award in the 'Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie' category for its remarkable VFX work on the Star Wars adventure, The Book of Boba Fett. Well-versed in the planets, creatures, droids, and aesthetic of Star Wars already from working on the show’s predecessor, The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2, Image Engine was able to jump into the fray to create extensive Mos Espa cityscapes, jetpack-powered shootouts, Scorpenek droids with indomitable energy shields, and speeder bikes driven by the cyborg street gang. Read more >>
