(Photo: Business Wire) Already recognized as South Florida's largest production studio, the upgrade also includes implementation of the state-of-the-art, Unreal Engine software, the world's most opened and advanced real-time 3D creation tool, which virtually renders the most complex of sets, allowing real-time shooting, while exponentially reducing editing and post-production work. BrandStar Studios has employed a full team of Unreal Engine CGI (News - Alert) artists, allowing for the development of the highest photo realism virtual environments for set builds, with available interior and exterior scenes from around the world. "We can basically put anyone, anywhere, in real-time," said Mark Alfieri, CEO of BrandStar. "The combination of equipment and technology makes us a true next-generation studio. We are comparable to the most sophisticated movie studios in California." The enhancements feature one of the largest LED Volumes (screens) on the East Coast, measuring over 13 feet high and over 100 feet long, all within BrandStar's 43,000-square-foot facilities. The LEDs are the latest technology with a 1.9M pixel size allowing for true 8K resolution. "There's a reason the technology leverages 'Unreal,'" adds Alfieri. "It allows us to create super high-end roductions quickly, utilizing the same in-camera virtual environments that major studios are deploying to film their most technology-intensive programming. We will use this technology to produce music videos, virtual events, high-end commercials, television shows, feature films, basically anything anyone can dream up, we can produce it." BrandStar is using this advanced technology in production of their own shows, which include The Balancing Act and Military Makeover with Montel, airing on Lifetime.
