Damn guys theres only 28 units left! www.axibo.com/product/pt4
That tech is AMAZING!!! I would love, love, LOVE to have one; it will up my game no doubt. The problem is that I am POOR. This is not an exaggeration, the late great Ralphie May once said, "If you eat your breakfast cereal out of a Cool-Whip container that is stained red because it had spaghetti or chili in it, you're poor!".
I will have to wait for this awesome product to make it's way to a gear rental company before I get my hands on one.
👍✌
It's been awesome working with you man! The product would not be where it's at if it wasn't for all your feedback. THE FUTURE IS EXCITING.
250 mln $ on screen and hollywoods movie these days are epic RUBBISH! lol
Genius!!!!!
This is amazing tech, This is what I’ve been looking for to document the Bodysuit tattoos I’m doing.
Thanks for the shout out. This turned out even better than I would've thought. So much detail and information in such a short time. Let me know if you need help on the next one!
Dude! You're headed to Dayton for the next one!! Just need to build the bunk beds for you and T-bone!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Dude I got a tent. I’ll camp outside in the backyard if I need to. Let’s make some art!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL 250 mln $ on screen and hollywoods movie these days are epic RUBBISH! lol
Using ours now in a commercial studio and LOVING the AXIBO so far. Great entry opportunity for Virtual production, IMO. Thanks again, Josh, for exposing me to this disruptive tech. We too, had to awkwardly haul a giant TV back to our facility to to emulate your setup, lol. You're the best.
Hi Dave, how do you like it 3 month later? And I was wondering how good is the AXIBO for (ultra) macro? Thanks
Same as Anna… would really like to know your longterm thoughts on Axibo. Still recommend? Still using it?
The Axibo combined with a short throw projector projecting a 120" image would be amazing
Good to see you Josh! Great video as usual. Looking forward to the studio tour!
Pretty fascinating, I didn't have alot of interest in this at the start but by the end you pretty much sold me on the potential of how useful this could be.. excited to see the madness you come up with using this Josh
All I can say is wow! Thank you for this. I've been working my butt off to build a studio out of my garage the past few years and this is where I am headed. Been studying and upgrading hardware, the building is built now so it's so close. Something to do over the cold Edmonton winter eh💪🙏
Mind-blowing stuff, incredible!
What a cool bit of clever tech and genius guys. Love getting to discover this new ability through your channel.
you are such a good story teller, and you use the tools. i respect the consistant quality
250 mln $ on screen and hollywoods movie these days are epic RUBBISH! lol
Absolutely love the idea of using automation in place of a plethora of tracking tech. There are so many hurdles that need to be simplified to make this accessible to non wealthy creators. This would help a lot.
Loving mine, and loved working with the Axibo team!
Hi Thomas, how is your experience now 6 months later? And would you recommend using it (maybe without the slider) for macro shots or even ultramacro?
Same question as Anna…. any follow up Thomas? How about for macro work?
Welcome to the virtual production party, better late then never! We are using green screen with UE4 and Aximmetry because it’s ultimately more flexible if we need to adjust anything in post production. It’s also totally possible to use green screen with glass. The key is uniform lighting.
It looks like the team behind this slider are trying to make the UE side of things more accessible for the every day film maker so that’s pretty innovative right there. Curious to see where things go next!
Great video. Mind blown. That's actionable content. I'm in.
Very very cool! The motion adds a lot. I did the most basic concept of this with a small LCD and photos for a mock product photoset, but having a virtual set for talking to the camera footage would be awesome.
You had me at locking framerates, there is a reason that I think of you anytime I start brainstorming how to capture epic scenes for the blockbuster that reveals itself to me every day I drive around this city. This truely is increadible tech, but honestly it's the fact the you can see this way and understand what is nessisary from a purely technical standpoint to simply capture what is needed to stich it all together that impresses me and endears me to your process.
Perfect,
Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
Been developing in Unreal and other game engines for ~15 years for various hobby projects. As cool as this tech is for video production, I think there are going to be some incredible concert acts coming out in the next few years. Some artists already have been using spatially mapped projections for visuals but integration with Unreal is going to allow for some mind blowing real time interactive content in physical space. For example, foggers and synced projectors can create interesting holographic effects. Play a scene in virtual space over that kind of setup and I think you can start to get an idea of what I'm thinking will make for some amazing concert experiences. Then I consider what might happen when tracking of the physical space is looped into some logic that determines how to alter scene activity. There are opportunities for very cool things to be made as experiences.
This shiz is just incredible! We are quickly approaching the ability for non-studio filmmakers to be able to compete with the big dogs. I'm not in the industry, so I'll prob never use it unless and until something similar ends up in FCP, but I'm so impressed by how quickly the tech is evolving. Thanks for another great video!
Incredibly insane! WOW
I am watching this video from small town in India and so surprised to see how technology changing the world of filmmaking. When I saw this video it feels like I know nothing about filmmaking. Thankyou so much for inspiring us ,you are a great storyteller :)
Just FYI, you can get Gencok without 12G-SDI....... many cameras have had genlock capabilities since the early ages of video cameras.
Explain how in terms of Virtual Production though. I've only heard of one work around the 12g-sdi and that's that's by rigging a DeckLink.
You are correct! There are many cameras that support genlock. However, without 12g HD-SDI you usually have to have a second line just for that purpose. As far as I’m aware this is more of an unreal Engine limitation than a overall camera one.
The reflections on the back of your phone at 0:45 makes it look like the Samsung Flip! I got very excited for a minute:)
Cool! Nice video ✌️
This incredible
Just ordered mine. That discount code sealed the deal...oh, and Unreal Engine. Can't wait to put this baby to work!
Man, you are the greatest! Love the Content! On this video, I lost it at the 9:00 mark. Just a Great Storyteller.
Depth of field always looks trash with video backgrounds though, I can tell 90% of the time when it's used. The most distant stuff doesn't get progressively blurrier unless it's all rendered with this but people don't usually seem to bother
looks insane. Imagine this with consumers gear. Or even better on a gimbal. Wow I wish I’m still here when that happens. Excited for the future
OMG if she sees this she'll want one. Looks so cool and the use endless possibilities
The tracking function combined with sliding while tracking would be the function I’d use the most. Perfect for b-cam in interviews 🙌
Yes exactly. This worked surprisingly well!
This is so over my head but it was interesting! I'm too old for this stuff...(62)
amazing!
WoW 👌 this is very exciting for imagination
Look great!
Hey Thanks Scott. Means a lot coming from the Kessler team. Xo
nice, I love your videos
I really want Corridor Crew to play with this as well!
Corridor have been working with a different type of camera tracking system. Although I’m sure they would not mind testing this kind of system out. I’ll have to reach out, I used to work with them back in the day.
looks good.
This device is not for me yet but I am very excited to see it coming to this every individual I might even just buy a new TV like you did
*new subscriber: whoever the cameraman is is hilarious and reality TV ready 😂
This is amazing technology. WTF. Game changer.
Fun stuff!
As in "the" ILM???
🙏 We're not worthy. We're not worthy! 🙏
Well if industrial light and Magic liked it. We must be doing something right. If you guys ever need more Virtual production technicians let me know!
that is a game changer 😳
I was following videos and you're concept
Really well put together video. Curious about ways to make the TV part a little more convincing. Someone mentioned ways to add wrap around lighting, but the depth of field issue might be hard to fix. Cool that this is becoming possible without a Disney budget though.
yess, practicing unreal engine all covid with virtual production seems to have really benfitted.
MIND=BLOWN
Hey thanks for posting something ☺️
This gave me an idea. I do have an ordinary power slider, i can power it up, add some tracking marks and make note of the speed, track the camera motion in blender, render out the background loop (now with the correct parallax) put the video on an ultra short trow projector, time it up with the slider as best i can, and boom! Loads of render time saved as opposed to doing that shot in green screen :)
Man I'd love to have one of these. I think my skills need to grow a bit more. Maybe next year
this is INSANE! Me want
I was expecting Anamorphia 2 to be the thing you watched on your new tv😂
The tech works great, the only issue was the pixels were present on the TV but that is the virtual background not the slider's fault. I would say for the Prosumer only using QLED TV's to achieve shots like this would be best until the Technology for larger scale options becomes available.
but even if you used the best screen, I feel like it would be 100% noticeable as a screen. The thing he's done in every shot is have the background out of focus and I think that's the only time you can use this tech.
this is insane
WOW Dude great video; Yes things are starting to advance at a rapid rate and what a great time for it to do so...I also remember weird Science, Remembering Chad...LOL....
Josh, fantastic video production, as usual, however, I’m going to need Gerald’s review on this. Btw, you’re all out of denim shirts on the site! Did all the Canadian fans clear you out?!
As someone else mentioned, the TV thing doesn't really work unless you have properly out-of-focus bokeh rendered in UE for ALL the objects in the scene, and the screen that you're using is also the correct distance away from your product. Also, I wonder if this sort of scenario would work better with the new QD-OLED technology that's coming out this year, since you wouldn't get blooming around bright spots in your scene or weird IPS glow in dark areas.
Ah okay. There was something about it that wasn't convincing, I wasn't sure what. Was also thinking if you have a cubemap-like setup with a couple more (smaller) screens around the product, the lighting may better match the world lighting that Disney is able to achieve.
This is one of those 'shut up and take my money' moments :D
Amazeballz!
I need this 😊
This is awesome. 2 questions:
1. the video feed from the TV seems a little stuttery to me. Is that a bug?
2. If you're pre-baking the video, how does Unreal know the exact location of the screen and the Axios? Seems like there could be slight calibration errors
The stutters may have been from when rendering it in real time with my laggy computer.
I used footage from early testing days (months ago) before they figured the baked in file workflow.
The other thing is the first iteration slider they sent me had a power issue, and the stutters may have been from that slider, not the tv.
The latest one has that all solved.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Thanks for responding! How does it know where your screen is relative to the slider? Are you just manually putting that into Unreal? So it's possible that there's some misalignment? Does it use that camera built into the slider to calculate some kind of homography matrix and do the alignment?
I noticed the same thing, glad to hear it has been cleaned up. Would love to see a full stress test video to understand its capabilities and limitation.
This would make my twitch streams epic.
I want one!!!
More genius content! Goodness me...
So out of my budget right now so I'll wait to pick one up used in 1-3 years.
Ok, I understand. Instead of using rotoscoping to add the background in after, you plot the camera path in unreal, render the scene, play the scene in the background and play the camera movement against that background. That is what gives you the correct lighting and parallax effects. Wouldn't a gimbal and a slider do the same thing?
Great video! Does it work with hdmi too instead of sdi?
you should have for sure shot a green screen though and compare/contrasted it... its a neat idea but from what i ve seen here its not yet convincing imo , its probably lack of bigger screen or surrounding screen to create enough wrap around lighting to appear real to the eye or simple LED/OLED whatever screen tech quality
I’ve seen all there is to see about Mandalorian technology.
The main key is speed, and flexibility’s as reflections from green screens is a pain in the a** to edit away.
Exactly.
Wowsers! Does this partner up well with the Epic W 8K? So down to test this. What about projectors? and if yes on the projector, what would be a recommended unit?
Everyone's talking about how cool this tech is, and I'm here thinking "Did Josh seriously edit the camera footage of himself video calling to match it to the laggy pixelated footage of the guys he was talking to?"
...that's next level.
Cool piece of kit.. seems a little herky-jerky at times... I imagine that can be smoothed out?
That was badass! Do they have the slider without the virtual feature maybe for less? How much is it? I'm thinking about returning this edelkrone I just got, I'm just not feeling it. Still skipping out the market
Pretty cool but about 3-4x $$ what’s needed for live. Minus Unreal Engine, YC Onion + DJI RS2 Pro for the win on interview tracking.
this is crazy cool!!! Unbelievable - and ...before you watched inception I hought you would do something else ;)
Bro you know I totally did. Bahaha.
BRO. THIS SLIDER IS COOL. My only question is, what product you using for your hair bro?!!? Looking noice.
Crew - fiber. ;)
That is so epicc, i did see some stutter from the screen when you did the whiskey pouring shot in the night.
Do not reply to that other spam message with my photo. That's a scam, and has been reported.
Do not reply to that other spam message with my photo. That's a scam, and has been reported.
Also yes that stutter was cause I had shot that one with the old V2 software and the motors had a power issue. It was entirely a programming bug that was resolved. But yeah despite my best efforts to fix in post a little stutter remained.
But that issue was resolved as of 2 months ago and I have not had any other stuttering issues since!
Yeah i had it a lot already...
And okay, i'm very interested in this technology. I myself am an engineer and make videos on extra. I would really like to work in the videotechnology like those guys do, but dont know where toe start😕
All Good excellent
Ok, I'm sold but now need to pad into my equipment budget.. Any idea where I can learn more? You may have thrown me into a new career direction.
Heeee'sss Baaaaccckkk!!! Dude you've been gone way too long! Looking forward to your Tony Stark/MacGyver-ish videos...my FAV. Hahaha love the 9min marker. Uhhh...so you bought a 86in screen to film yourself pouring bourbon? LOL! Do you miss your old studio yet?
I do! But I'll be back! How are you?!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Doing great! I'm almost done with the manual so it can be )reviewed by you and Jon. Checking out some gear (lenses, accessories) to spend my bonus on. I got only a couple hours left on that Laowa lens on indiegogo, but I am going to get the Sony 16-35 f4 so other than it being anamorphic, it's redundant and I'm trying not to do that.
for small gigs, work pretty well. for business projects, that just a toy!
I’ve gotta watch this video a few more times. My brain just kept exploding
Great video showcasing some nice stuff that is getting to market.
PS: Your Mic seems to clip a bit. You have a bit of a crackle in your voice. Might check that out :-)
Also finished the VO while having COVID. so theres. that. :)
It would be super cool if we could do this with DJI equipment such as the RS and RSC line up.
(Awe man, I put a link in my comment, and it dumped the whole comment. Try #2)
This is so awesome!
It makes me wish I was still doing 3D. The math motion here is very much like 3D animation. I was an animator from the late 80s through the mid 90s - TV virtual product b-roll, commercials work and games.
I had stepped away from it, but around 2007ish, a friend of mine who built out TV studios approached me with a gov contract to build a virtual studio, that would do what you're doing here. Basically to allow live action to meld with a virtual set. It would allow for all of the proper perspective on the fly. Unfortunately, I was done with 3D, burnt out on the demands and slow computers of the day. My dreams always outpaced my machine budget.
Anyway, I'm excited to see what you do with this, I know it will be incredible. And if you're interested in seeing my digital 90s demo reel compiled from 3/4", 1/2" beta and (ugh) VHS, let me know where I can send you a link from my Facebook page - it's a hoot... and some cools stuff too. I built an entire 3D 1965 Mustang from from scratch, one point, one line, on polygon at a time.
Keep up the great work Josh!
Send it to me! DM me on Instagram or Twitter if you can!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Sent it. Let me know if it made through.
Remember, we're looking at 3D from over 25 years ago, and the record quality was doubly awful. Ha! Had some cool projects though. Did that open for the Magic Basketball team in Orlando, and the inaugural and second year TV open for the Florida (now Miami) Marlins Baseball Team, Daytona USA fan center "inside the car" video segments... a ton of stuff for Home Shopping Network. It was fun.
I'm in Cincinnati and down to come get an autograph! Been a fan for years now.
Let's a do a meet up when I don't have Covid! Been meaning to do that!
A really good projector might be awesome with this. Probably not too dissimilar in terms of pricing to that TV you've bought
I may have to figure a way around the Lack of contrast though. The short throw 4K ones are $5k.
I have done tests with the Epson laser 10k and 12k with short-throat lenses. on 12’ x 16’ screens. And that worked all right. However they’re quite expensive. And if you’re going for some thing that doesn’t have enough lumens then you need resolution so you can get closer without image bleed. Unfortunately most consumer projectors are not bright enough with enough contrast ratio to allow for images to look color accurate. However, even projectors are getting cheaper
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Are they that much?! Ok well then sweet talk a projector company into being a sponsor haha. Might not be as good on terms of contrast as the TV but for people on smaller budgets the lack of contrast might be good enough? But yeah... Didn't really think of that.
@@DataMakesItWork looks like you've had a good go then. Maybe it would be good enough for smaller projects? I know it's still more than a TV but if you could get most of a person's body in the frame with it then it would be good enough.
9:00 Oh my Jergens, what are you gonna do with that? (Dirty mind) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh he's crying! My sweet baby needs some milk! 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Awe final you’ve quinces my Make Art Now addiction . I know, I know ,Josh , you’ve been very busy w the move the trade shows , concerts etc but when do a new video
( this is where I’m kissing your #%*€¥)
It’s quality over quantity. Which I thrive for future knowledge. Welcome back to the RUclips Airwaves .
now if they could harness the tracking power into a puck that could be mounted on any camera, and then transfer the gyro motion into unreal that would be awesome.
Can you tell me why the screen in Disney against which they shoot semi-circular and not flat?
The new Batman was shot similar to this, which is why it looks so awesome
But will the subject tracking also work with Unreal? That would be amazing!
That's what I wanna know.
Imagine being Batman in the Batcave (but it's really just you in your pj's talking to a screen 🤣)
Awesome stuff, wondering about using this in live production for augmented reality tv graphics
I actually think these guys are working on that right now with some production companies. But I'm not supposed to know about it or talk about.
what is augmented reality tv?
@@microfx
It is that kind of TV graphics which looks like it has been captured in camera. It looks like it is part of the football field, for example:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_%26_Ten_(graphics_system)
In practice it means graphics feed is being modified in real time based on camera position and its pan tilt zoom data.
This device does the heavy lifting of providing position and pan tilt data to unreal engine, and binds the data to virtual camera in 3D space. This means you can do moving shot with TV graphics sticking to the point in the scene with proper paralax etc.
Of course it can't do all what custom systems like 1st & Ten can (drawing under people, correct for active zooming) but in this price range it is game changing product for live production.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL can imagine, I am already having ideas
@@jeffsaffron5647 ahh of course! I was always fascinated by those!
Auto Tracking - Can there be a function that will give headroom? I noticed that it cuts the top of your head off. Maybe a function that says "if face is tracked, look up X amount"
Yeah it's in there. You can manually adjust headroom or left/ Right and even foot room.
Love this for sure. Question. Is this possible if you could use a 4k laser projector on a projector screen. I saw a video about projectors screens that give almost the same image quality as a TV Screen but in this case the projector is much large.
a projector might work, likely require some roto and masking to clean up. The big issue I see from a projector is that they bounce light differently than a screen. The best possible use for something like this would be macro work with a curved screen and some bounce from the front.
Does it hold a DV size Por camera.. weight about 3.8KG
How about footage lens correction to match the 3d?
