Both our virtual art department and volume control team leveraged the latest in video production techniques to create a hybrid broadcast that blended the best of both worlds.

For the Holiday themed event, our creative team designed a virtual environment in Unreal Engine that was both chaotic and festive. Santa’s helpers made the naughty list when they ran amok in the streets and took over the pit. The detail in the virtual environment provided a visual experience that was both exciting and memorable.

Our volume control team made sure that the transition from physical to virtual elements was spot on.
