Leveraging decades of experience in visual effects, we offer a comprehensive suite of virtual production services focused on closing the traditional gaps between pre and post-production. Our OSVTM system combines the Emmy-winning Stype camera system with the Unreal Engine to produce real-time, on set visualizations so you can achieve your cinematic vision.
ARCVFX’s OSVTM system empowers creatives to visualize and capture on set choices spontaneously, change virtual assets on the fly, and seamlessly carry them into post-production for uncompromised visual effects scenes.
Save time and reduce costs. Our OSVTM system revolutionizes collaboration by allowing all creatives to see real-time visual effects/CG elements, fostering seamless communication and creative synergy.
Significantly reduce pre-production set development and preparation time by choosing from an extensive library of off-the-shelf digital assets to match your environment. If you’re looking for a bespoke asset, we can create it for you!
Produce high fidelity scenes in a shorter amount of time. We capture complex shots that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods by enabling production to have more control over the camera’s movements for maintaining continuity between shots.
Optimize rendering of your set environment. Leveraging AI and machine learning, our expert lens calibration technicians will finetune the OSVTM system to match your lens allowing for seamless integration of CG elements with live footage.
Achieve a faster shoot turnaround time. Our team of VFX professionals can set up at your location within a few hours of arrival and with the advantage of a small footprint that integrates seamlessly into set film production workflows.
