EVT - Optic Sky Productions

My research led me to help create a working pipeline to make Unreal work with RIT’s LED wall and camera rig. Our initial project, EVT, a collaboration between MAGIC Spell Studios, Optic Sky Productions, and Electric Vehicle Team RIT won four Silver Regional ADDY Awards and allowed us to create documentation and materials for use in our VP curriculum.

EVT was the perfect size and project for our proof of concept. Our team worked tirelessly to connect Unreal to the LED wall and track the camera to give the sense of parallax on the wall while the camera was in motion. This was an extremely exciting project to participate in because of the innovation, the opportunity for collaboration, and because it was like seeing magic before our eyes.

At a Glance:

•Help set up the LED wall and large screen projection
