Join me as I make films, try out new equipment and cutting edge software, discover amazing filmmaking techniques and new ways to tell biggers stories.
@CompositingAcademy Get a look at how Shane Hurlbut reacted to your lightcraft jetset composite.
Dude so cool! I was literally referencing terminator salvation like crazy for that sequence - all the sparks / smoke / tone is referencing that film from their factory sequence. Great edit on this video by the way!
@CompositingAcademy Man, the reactions to your work were awesome across the board, but seeing Shane light up like that was incredible.
I'm glad you like the edit. It's been a fun couple of weeks working in it. Perhaps we could catch up on a call sometime.
Sent you an email! Cheers
@CompositingAcademy Cool man, maybe check the address. I haven't received anything.
@@JoshuaMKerr Sent to the one in your youtube bio if that one is correct
Thank you, I mean it, I was sat in my living room costing out the budget for my short independent film in Scotland, It was going to cost over 10 k to film. This tech is going to be a game changer for me, I can just concentrate on filming, in my house. That means a great deal, glad you met Shane, he is a friend of mine, and one of the kindest warmest DoP I have ever worked with.
Shane was epic. What an awesome and ...big personality. Glad youre going to get your film off the ground.
It seems inevitable that some major player will buy this. I can imagine everyone from Epic to Blackmagic and just hope it isn't Adobe.
Based on my conversations with the founders, that's very unlikely
@@JoshuaMKerrgreat
@@JoshuaMKerr can't the app work with android too, since there more potential users there to.
@birianination7097 Im afraid not. There are many reasons, one being the lidar sensor on the iphone.
This really is genius tech. I edited my first feature film on Avid, when it was a six figure proposition to own and rented for 2g's a week. We go from that to Jetset, which for me as a filmmaker seems like the perfect tool to be able to do VP on the go. I'm excited. Thanks for a wonderful showcase video Joshua. Cheers mate, and keep up the good work.
Wow! This was an awesome video. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Hey there guys! Im planning to use a bunch of your assets in upcoming vids. Love your work.
Smashing it Mr Kerr, you have come so far in such a short space of time, hats off to you sir!
Hey Peter! Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Loads of fun doing this one.
You're doing great, bro! I've been watching you for a long time and you've got a lot of skills already! I'm sure you'll achieve everything you want!
Thanks for saying. Im forever a student. Got to keep learning all of the time. Glad to have you on the journey with me.
Wow, this was really cool. So, having seen your Greenscreen or rotoscope video, where use of the refine soft matte, I think my advice would be to find some way to bring that as a real time filter in some way to either Unreal Engine, or via the app, since the Greenscreen effect is visible at the edges. Of course, using that projection technique to bring the lighting of the engine onto the subject would also help improve the immersion.
Great stuff here. I bet you had an absolute blast meeting to many amazing people in the industry.
Incredible work Josh! Came out amazing!
Cheers man, cheers for your input on the edit.
Looks great!! I was hoping to find you guys at NAB but didn't know which booth you were in. Very excited about the future of filmmaking thanks to your hard work. Keep it up 🙂
Yeah, we were sharing a booth with Accsoon. NAB was so massive even I couldn't find our booth at one point!
Congtratulations on a great trade show! Good to meet you guys.
It was so great to meet you and Eliot at the show! It really got me hyped to continue working and experimenting! Really enjoyed this behind the scenes and I'm super excited for what you guys are doing! Keep it up!
Hey! I'm excited for you man! It's only the beginning and there's so much coming our way in indie VP. Glad you like the video, it was quite a show.
Coming along great, the potential in this is amazing!
It really is a powerful tool.
It's been so fun watching your journey on this channel only to see OTHER youtube channels discover Lightcraft Jetset on theirs during NAB. Watching this now feels like taking a victory lap with you!
Haha, thank you, glad youre on the journey. We'll stay ahead of the rest. Just wait until I Revolutionise greenscreen shooting and invent a new way to get realistic renders.
All coming up.
@@JoshuaMKerr Great work Josh! Gaussian Splats could not be happening at a more opportune time!
Tell me about it. So many amazing technologies are converging.
Ты молодец, бро! Я давно тебя смотрю, и ты много что уже умеешь делать! Я уверен, ты добьешься всего, чего хочешь!
Bloody Brilliant. Been following you for a while but what you were able to showcase with Jetset technology in little time is brilliant
So glad you enjoyed it. I think the next step is to make a proper short film.
@@JoshuaMKerrsounds awesome, I'd love to help if you need it
So awesome I have the app and cant wait to try it out!!! I hate I missed your booth at NAB but next I got to see yall!!! Keep building!!
Sorry you missed us. It was a blast mate. Hope you enjoy the app.
i came accross this a while ago but i didn't really get a chance to try it out until recently. and i am so so glad i did. it's amazing!!🤯🤯
I'm glad you like it. I honestly am blown away by it. Its only going to get better.
Absolutely love it. Next time you do a conference like that use a desktop pc with the best specs you can get your hands on. It makes things so much easier - I know - I used to do Exhibit design.
mega, i haven't bothered looking at doing any of this until things like this came available. I knew they would happen, this just confirms lots of cool things in my head! awesome stuff
What will you make?
@@JoshuaMKerr i was going to do some comedy stuff, but on a commercial side of things was thinking about safety videos. I am planning to build a volume set, i nearly ended up running one out in the usa (i'm uk based). I'm working on ways of lowering the cost of volume set building. It really needs to be come accessible to everyone.
Jetset has been such an absolute boon for doing previz, where you can show what you see for a scene working, not working and the practicalities what physically you may need in a scene to sell it to an audience.
Totally, this is exactly right. The power to see your film before you've made it is incredible.
@@JoshuaMKerr is unreal high enough resolution for your actual film?
@tomhale2966 It's whatever resolution you want
I had the opportunity to be one of the early testers and its even better in person. Im very excited for this to hit the streets!
It's on the app store :)
Yep! I've had a copy for a while and I fully recommend it!
Brilliant.
Brilliant content Joshua, very well presented. It is great that you met Shane Hurlbut, he has been a big influence and is a fantastic individual. All the best and have an awesome day.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Shane was brilliant.
Honestly Best thing I've seen come down the pipe since unreal 5. I can NOT WAITE to play with it
Truly inspiring Josh! As someone that pioneered virtual production in my country (Moldova) I'm very excited to where this is going. Looking forward to see where Jetset takes us.
Me too, Im going to give it some solid battle testing over the next few videos I think.
@@JoshuaMKerr I still think the main problem with this hardware is subpixel tracking, maybe you could do some full body tracking?
@@racketaproduction Sub pixel post production tracking is coming to Jetset
@@JoshuaMKerr super excited!
very exciting
Well done 👏
Thank you 😁
Just brilliant 🎥🎥🎬💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 yes it’s going to be a paradigm shift once they get it up and cranked and start working with iOS and new devices in the coming years. This will be revolutionary. It will really be a game changer for the industry and I congratulate those two men for taking all the risks.
They've known which way the wind has been blowing for decades
Pretty inspiring mate.
Glad you think so!
Mind blown, Josh. I’m in your video with my friend and colleague Roberto Schaefer ASC. And I knew I recognized you, just couldn’t connect you here.
Hi man! Did you have a good NAB? What else did you enjoy?
NAB, as usual, was inspiring. I didn’t see as much as I would have liked due to my responsibilities at the NANLUX booth.
Thanks for making me aware of this software! I have shared your video with my friends who are into this kind of production. I do have one point to make. It seems like you are always under pressure in these showcase videos, which can be more engaging then only showing when things go right. Transparency is always good! I would also like to see some more examples of Jetset just working without focusing on the problems as you do in this video.
Jetset should sponsor you to work on a short film with proper actors where you are the cinematographer and can focus on the tech instead of doing everything. I suggest finding a filmmaker and actors who has already won/ was nominated for a film festival award (I have done this myself to great success).
Cheers big ears!
I do like these videos to have a narrative so I don't just show everything going well. The only problem I ran into in this case was laptop performance and it was down to that specific unreal engine scene. Jetset worked a dream.
I may well work on a short with the Lightcraft people, that's the path I'm on.
@@JoshuaMKerr I understand! I get stressed out just watching you at these events. I've been there before..., So for me the stress of your situation overshadows the tech you are showcasing. You've done this twice. I'm gonna need a beer hahaha
@workinprogress2077 Relax mate, everything is fine.
@@JoshuaMKerr ooooosaaaaa!
Its amazing! I subbed for the pro version
Have you checked out the lightcraft site?
@@JoshuaMKerr yea its awesome! thats why I subbed to the pro version. eventually Ill get the cine version
@@VFXCentral Nice one. You're going to love it
Superb!
Thank you so much
Well done.
Thank you :)
Like the oceans 11 tribute at the end too x
haha, glad someone caught that
So awesome to see the look on their faces! Will Android be considered?
As far as I'm aware until android gets a lidar sensor or something similar that can help calculate the tracking I think it's unlikely we'll see android.
@@JoshuaMKerr Ah yes makes sense, thanks.
I love that that is the guy that Christian Bale is screaming at in that famous expletive ridden audio clip. 😂
REALLY?
There's nothing like a RUclips comment to bring that up.
@@scisafersal1 yup
@@JoshuaMKerr that's what we're here for! Great vid Joshua
Good work pal
Thanks man! And thanks for your help
WHAT. As someone who has spent the last couple of weeks trying to figure out the best way to bring genlock to a studio that wasn't built for it... THIS IS WILD. Is the Seemo Pro required for this or will it work with any of the Seemo models?
Just a seemo is fine. The pro does SDI though. It's pretty epic isnt it.
"automated sub-pixel post production tracking" ... daaamn yeah!!
Gamechanging stuff
Jetset Cine sounds really exciting, but more is needed to be done in tutorials and how to streamline UE sets to Lightcraft. I have decent experience in VP, admittedly complex staff, but what JETSET CINE is intending do is mind-blowing, however it is not as simple as yet to do on cinema camera using iPhone as tracker...
It has a learning curve to start wit,h as everything does. But once the workflow is understood I think it's actually quite straightforward. Loads of tutorials on their site too. I'm sure it will become more stramlined as developemnt continues.
really cool stuff. any plans for making this work on android?
Cool tech, would love to play. What's the lowest spec (aka cheapest) iPhone the app will work on?
Great! Does it work with a beamer / LED wall too?
I dont see why not. It just important to have some physical props in the scene so the lidar has something to latch onto. I plan to do a test shortly
@@JoshuaMKerr thanks :)
Oh man didn't know you was at NAB we must've missed each other all week
Ah mate! We were tucked away at the back of the central hall. It would've been cool to see you in person. Maybe next time eh.
it’s really cool, thanks for sharing
I follow you for a long time and I wanted to know if you thought to do a tutorial to get started with this application, the different subscriptions compositing, the configurations for à simple shot from A to Z
sorry for my English
Thats a good idea. Might do that next
@@JoshuaMKerr I am looking forward to
thank you from france 😊🙏
Also, should the tracker be at the mid of the lens(noodle point) instead of the very front ?
The app calculates the tracking offset so phone placement doesn't have to be quite so precise.
hi i downloaded the app. i was wondering is it possible to just record all the tracking data along with the footage in camera on the actual iphone and take it to blender and add animation later., with all the tracking so i dont need to use blenders motion tracking?
Yes. If you record takes in Jetset on the iPhone, it will record your iPhone footage, your preview composite, and the tracking data.
Then, send it through to blender via autoshot. That will bring the tracking data and footage across.
Use low power sodium yellow screen for excellent "green screen"
haha of course...but seriously I am experimenting with something like that
The X-Wing demo inside Jetset is different than the one shown in this video. Is there a link anywhere to download it?
This was a custom scene we used for the show, I'm not sure if it will be availlable in the app by default. Will ask.
Why am I crying
twas an emotional roller coaster
Hi there, which model of iPhone used for the demo? Will iPhone 11 work with JetSet?
I wouldn't recommend anything below a 13 pro for production. I know the app can work on lower models but haven't tried it myself.
Really incredible work. Any chance of this coming to Android in the future?
Im afraid it's not likely due to the lack of lidar and also the inconsistent build quality of android phones.
@@JoshuaMKerr I don't understand Samsung hasn't put lidar in their phones yet
The problem is folks still need to master the most important element of making films: WRITING A GOOD STORY!. ;)
True. Hopefully, the more that tech gets out of the way, the easier it will be to focus on what really matters :)
I love almost everything about this software. Why almost? The glaring lack of Android support is the elephant in the room. If they can manage to produce a software that is platform agnostic or at least Android compatible, that would make this a "Just take my money" solution. Thank you for documenting your experience.
I doubt we will see any serious VP solutions on android. The lack of lidar depth sensing is an ongoing issue
@@JoshuaMKerr You are probably right. Lidar was discontinued on Android years ago. Thanks.
just curious how a color card would help with unreal and a green screen? Maybe I'm phrasing this wrong but is the unreal "world" already rendered at the perfect color spectrum so it would only be used to change the color of the green screen footage to perfect balance and therefore match the already balanced unreal "world?"
a colour checker or colour chart would absolutely be useful for matching the colour science of your camera to the cg scene...or vice versa.
do you have a breakdown on what needs to be hooked up to the camera, not the phone. I’m new to all of this but highly interested in this process
If you're using Jetset cine and want to calibrate with your lenss then (asside from the iphone and your cine camera) you need an accsoon seemo, an hdmi from the camera to the seemo, and a usbc to usbc cable to go from the seemo to the phone.
Then, just some rods etc to mount it all on your camera rig.
so you don’t need anything to send signal back to a computer/Unreal Engine?
@outjogging If you want to do an on set lighting preview with unreal then generally speaking you need a video capture card to get video into unreal. Elgato camlink 4k, decklink or aja cards are supported by unreal.
If you want to be wireless then a set of video transmitters would be a good shout too. We used a set from accsoon.
If the goal is a high end photoreal UE5 Environment then you need to make a Low poly Version for the Phone to Work?
You would export your full quality scene (or a section of it) to USD with preview textures and then Ligthcraft's desktop app, Autoshot, turns that into a USDZ for use on the phone.
@@JoshuaMKerr cool, maybe you can do a full Workflow Tutorial in the Future...or do they have one in their Channel?
What was the gear list? He used to connect to camera to the iPhone?
I need this asap...i selling Everything to get this setup
To connect the camera to the iPhone, you just need the accsoon seemo.I used a seemo pro in this video (supports SDI). Then you'll need an hdmi or SDI cable from the camera to the seemo and a usbc cable from seemo to iPhone
Hope they make a version for people who upgraded to Android.
iPhone is going to be essential hardware for this. It's mainly to do with the consistent build quality and lidar sensor.
Im an android user generally but I have an iphone for jetset
Are there any plans to release the app on Android?
Ad far as I'm aware that's not on the cards for various reasons. I'd treat the iphone as a piece of essential gear for virtual production
@@JoshuaMKerr Cool. Does it have to be iphone 15? Or 14 would do as well
Why is it called Jetset?
My interpretation is that they want it to feel like you're flying through filmmaking rather than getting bogged down in the details.
@@JoshuaMKerr I LOVE THAT
I hope they bring it out for Android.
Unlikely. Android doesn't have a lidar sensor for tracking. There are other deeper reasons around the consistency of the build quality. Best to think of it as a required piece of camera equipment rather that an iphone vs android issue.
I have an android phone but still have an iphone for vp.
@@JoshuaMKerr thanks for that and clearing it up. It makes total sense now.
I am looking at getting an affordable I-phone that supports jetset. Is I phone SE comparable? I have a HUGE script that I believe I would never be able to make. I am hoping this tech will make it attainable
Im not totally sure about the SE. I do know that the earlier the iphone model, the less geometry you will be able to load, and you might experience more overheating.
@@JoshuaMKerr Looks like I'll be selling my HTC Vive Pro and tracker to buy at lessed in I phone 13 :D
@garthmccarthy4911 can't argue with that.
You've got a lot of green light-bleed
Definitely the least of my worries at the time. Despill could be stronger, but we aren't in a controlled environment either. I was surprised the greenscreen was as evenly lit as it was.
Make it independent of iCloud.
Ill pass that on
The tracking looks not so good.. htc vive for me
Is vive worth the $?
If that's based on my screen recording then it wont look 100% because running OBS caused a bit of stuttering.
I can tell you from experience that the tracking beats vive. Also vive gives you absolutely no pipeline into post.
@@JoshuaMKerr Vive Mars tracking must be superior to an Iphones cheap Lidar. Aximmetry has an App to and all apps of this kind use apple ARkit. I doubt if this delivers usable tracking for a proper VFX shoot. It´s cool but its just a previz tool
Do I dare to ask: Android?
Not for android no. Lidar asside, the iphone offers a consistent build quality.
But its not really an Android vs iPhone question. It's better to look at an iPhone as just another piece of camera gear in this case.
Im an Android user, but use the iPhone just for jetset.
