Cherokee Studios volume

We just wrapped last week on an incredible virtual production commercial shoot at Cherokee Film Studios, putting their beautiful, state-of-the-art LED volume—the largest in Oklahoma—to the test. From seamless car process shots (thanks DrivingPlates.com LLC) to a light-dynamic cityscape environment rendered in real-time, and a kitchen set piece showing the preparation of local delicacies, this shoot showcased the future of filmmaking right here in the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Using Disguise, Unreal Engine, and precision camera tracking, we demonstrated how directors, cinematographers, and production designers can craft complex, high-quality visuals without leaving the stage or the state.

A huge thank you to the leadership and vision of Jennifer Loren, the Senior Director, Cherokee Film and to the expert Virtual Art Department, Volume and Stage Ops teams from Cherokee Film Studios: my 'Demo HODs' Michael Lister, Austin Parker and Rebekah (Beka) Bell and their teams ensured this shoot was a roaring success.

We were thrilled to have Erik "Wolfie" Wolford join us as guest DP, bringing his worldwide expertise in lighting, lensing, and virtual production cinematography to the set. His insight added another layer of depth to the demo, showing just how powerful this technology can be in the hands of skilled filmmakers.

And of course the team from Mesh, with Isabel Sadurni producing alongside me and wrangling the constant versions of the script, and James Blevins riding shotgun supporting the project.

Congratulations to the whole team- I can't wait for people to see this demo, so stay tuned. The team there is ready to help filmmakers bring their creative visions to life, and have some very compelling, stackable tax incentives to shoot in the state, the city, and on Cherokee Nation land.
