VIRTUAL PRODUCTION WORKSHOP — AXIMMETRY & UNREAL ENGINE
SCALE Programme PENS × ITE Singapore (2024–2025)
ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
A virtual production workshop conducted as part of the international SCALE Programme between Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS) and ITE Singapore in 2024 and 2025. Introduced participants to virtual production workflows using Unreal Engine, Aximmetry, and Vive Mars CamTrack in a calibrated green screen studio at the HCM Laboratory, PENS. Developed demonstration reference projects, instructed participants through technical presentations, and operated the virtual camera tracking and live compositing systems while guiding students to film cinematic music video scenes inspired by Disney’s Aladdin ("A Whole New World" and "Speechless").

Virtual Production Workshop with Aximmetry & Unreal Engine
SCALE Programme PENS × ITE Singapore (2024–2025) · HCM Laboratory, 9th Floor Postgraduate Building, PENS
A hands-on virtual production workshop conducted as part of the international SCALE Programme between Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS) and ITE Singapore in 2024 and 2025. The initiative introduced international students to state-of-the-art cinematic virtual production workflows combining Unreal Engine, Aximmetry, and Vive Mars CamTrack in a calibrated green screen studio at the HCM Laboratory, PENS.
Participants created cinematic scenes for "A Whole New World" and "Speechless", interacting live with virtual sets inside the green screen studio.
02 // CORE CONTRIBUTIONS & SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Virtual Production Project Development
Built real-time 3D reference scenes in Unreal Engine and configured interactive node graphs in Aximmetry.
Workshop Instruction & Technical Presentation
Delivered lectures and live demos explaining camera tracking theory, genlock sync, and real-time VFX pipelines to Singaporean and Indonesian students.
Green Screen Studio Setup
Engineered studio lighting balance, optimized green screen backdrop diffusion, and calibrated Vive base stations for optical tracking volume.
Vive Mars CamTrack Configuration
Calibrated camera sensor offsets, measured lens focal length distortion parameters, and routed FreeD UDP telemetry into Aximmetry.
Unreal Engine & Aximmetry Integration
Engineered seamless live communication between Unreal Engine 5 and Aximmetry, enabling real-time background and foreground layer rendering.
Real-Time Production Operation
Acted as primary system operator during live student takes, ensuring synchronized camera tracking, keying adjustments, and ISO recording.
Participant Production Guidance
Guided student directors, camera operators, and talent on blocking, eye-lines, and interactive physical-to-virtual prop alignment.
03 // VIRTUAL PRODUCTION WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
Optical Camera Tracking
Sub-millimeter tracking rover attached to physical production cameras transmits positional and rotational telemetry (XYZ, Yaw/Pitch/Roll) at ultra-low latency over local Ethernet.
Real-Time 3D Rendering
Virtual environments dynamically respond to tracked camera movements, rendering photorealistic perspective shifts, dynamic shadows, and depth of field in real time.
Live Studio Compositing
Hardware video capture feeds and Unreal Engine render passes are composited with high-fidelity chroma keying, color grading, and talent shadow projection.
Student Music Video Production
Participants applied theoretical knowledge to direct and film narrative scenes inside custom virtual sets, experiencing end-to-end studio filmmaking firsthand.
