Partnering with ROE Visual, Hibino Corporation has taken its first steps in virtual production technology. The opening of Hibino's dedicated VFX studio will be celebrated with an open house to take place from June 2 to 4, 2021. The company will receive customers from June 1 onwards.
The studio is equipped with Ruby RB1.5F LED panels. Premiering this product for this market, Hibino has created a main screen measuring 12m wide by 4m high. Additionally, Carbon CB5 is used for a LED ceiling and two side screens to fill-in lighting. The resulting studio environment provides the perfect LED volume for commercial shoots or virtual events, creating a fully immersive experience.
Junichi Imokawa, director and managing executive officer of Hibino Visual Group, said: “Ever since our first cooperation, we have known that we can put our trust in the ROE Visual products to perform as promised. Making their entry into the virtual production market early on, ROE Visual has both the expertise and experience to pull this off. In our view, their work on Disney's The Mandalorian series is proof of their capability."
The studio uses disguise "Render Stream" for In-Camera VFX. Two RX machines are used exclusively to render content, ready for the inner and outer frustum. Imokawa said: "We've like to work with companies that are always ahead of the curve. Using the latest technologies available translates in the services we're able to provide for our clients."
The new studio will create an excellent chance for Hibino's customers to have a taste of in-camera VFX. As digitalisation continues to accelerate, Hibino is pro-actively undertaking various measures to reinforce the overall competence of the Group.
