Why Video Plates?
Video Plates are deliberately filmed ‘backgrounds’ – often one place from multiple angles.
We don’t have these for all of the Stages yet, but we’re working on it!
You’ll see that there’s nothing happening in the videos, but there are birds flying, people moving, waves crashing etc.
The idea is that these can be used by animators to insert their 2D or 3D stories,
OR as a green screen backdrop for… well… anything really.
