In film production, a new kind of technology has emerged in recent years called StageCraft. The makers use this technology which is based on the Unreal Engine software to create a virtual setup for a curved LED screen that is set up inside a closed room. Then the actors proceed to act in front of that screen while the camera uses a special kind of lens to capture the scene, making it look like it’s shot in a real place.
Apart from ‘The Mandalorian’, films like ‘The Midnight Sky’ (2020), ‘The Batman’ (2022), ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ (2022), and ‘Black Adam’ (2022) have reportedly used this technology to make their sets look ultra-realistic.
