Fuzzy Door Tech’s ViewScreen Brings Digital Worlds and Characters to Life on Disney's ‘Moana’
ViewScreen unlocks the bluescreen and lets the entire crew see sweeping oceans, endless skies and Tamatoa live on set
Fuzzy Door Tech today detailed how ViewScreen®, its suite of real-time production visualization (ProVis®) tools, was used on Disney's live-action “Moana.” Without ViewScreen, the set was a vast soundstage wrapped in bluescreen. The sweeping oceans, Tamatoa's glittering underwater lair and boundless skies of Moana's world were still months away from existing anywhere but in the imaginations of director Thomas Kail and the crew.
ViewScreen put Moana's world directly in camera and in video village. Now the director, DP, VFX supervisor and crew could all see the world they were building live, while they were still shooting. Creative decisions that would typically wait for post could be made on set while there was still time to adjust and reframe shots to get them right.
