In 2021, Pulse Films approached MARS Volume for a Virtual Production solution to their driving scenes for the Sky series, Gangs of London, season 2. With an ambition to shoot some of the most creative and compelling driving scenes, Pulse Films agreed Virtual Production offered maximum flexibility and most efficiency for creative output compared to other production techniques.
The driving scenes were shot within a sequence of busy city roads and luscious countryside driving plates with the vehicles lit with LED wild walls and exterior lighting. This enabled scenes with seamless and naturalistic reflections over the vehicles reflective surfaces, and the faces of the actors.
As the production also involved a variety of long driving scenes, the ability to avoid any technical, environmental and unforeseen weather-related issues by shooting Virtual Production were additional benefits for the production team. Avoiding the logistics of closing roads, gaining permissions, managing shooting in public spaces was another huge advantage for the team.
