At my internship at LEGO Agency in November 2021, I created this Demo Test Commercial with help from the team.

It was made to show how LEGO could use LED Wall In Camera Virtual Production for their commercials and other video content.
I made a storyboard and planned out how we would shoot it while considering using the LED Wall advantages. Everything is shot in camera exept for the CG shots that are rendered in unreal engine. I set up the wall with nDisplay for a single machine setup and created an environment in Unreal Engine 4. The environment are created with Quixel megascans to look like The Mandelorian scenes of the 8th episode of season 1.
This was a test of the use of a LED wall in a commercial, so a lot was learned trough the process and not all shots makes sense with VP in retrospect, but the proces froms tart to finish was very educational and fun.
The Final Version of the Demo Test Commercial - Shot In Camera on an LED Wall.
I Started by creating a storyboard planning the shots that needed to be CG and in front of screen.
Then I created an animatic in the same unreal scene that I used for the enviorment displayed with the LED Wall. Taking advantage of the aditive workflow.
The Demo Commercial was intended to be referencing some of the key scenes from The Mandelorian S 1 EP 8. This is a comparison of the final Version.
