Shot in April 2021, we turned the action-packed racing game GRID Legends into the world’s first Virtual Production project for an AAA+ video game – resulting in a range of engaging interstitial movies embedded in the game itself.
Shot in a bespoke LED stage 6 months before the opening of MARS Volume, the team at Bild created all scenes in Unreal Engine as well as the handling of all of the construction, engineering and the technical management of the studio.
With live-action, physical props and a dynamic LED backdrop, the result is a stunning example of how Virtual Production is powering new and exciting creative applications such as game cinematics.
