Oh my god. I feel like I'm a monkey and I just a computer.
I'm watching the making of series. The first three episodes were fine but nothing earth shattering. They talked to the directors. They talked about how it came together. They talked to the actors. Gina fans will find it interesting. It was pretty typical making of stuff. They just spent a lot more time talking about it.
Then there is episode 4. Episode 4 is entitled Technology. It shows how the series was made. And the way The Mandalorian was made blew my mind.
I thought they shot a lot of it on location. Maybe just one location that they redressed to show different locations. A lot of it was on the desert planets, I figured they just shifted around. Nope. Not even a little.
Jon Favreau builds on the technology he started with The Jungle Book and refined with The Lion King. At the time he talked about filming inside a video game engine and I didn't quite get it.
Well, The Mandalorian takes it one step further. They built a 360 degree stage that they surrounded with high def video screens. There is also video screen roof. What they do is project the scenes on the screens and film the actors against it. The Screens are so bright they light the actors. Plus the reflections on the metal surfaces are just reflections of the vid screens.
The main thing that was bringing me to the floor was the fact that the cameras are in sync with the vid screens. As, the cameras move the backgrounds change to keep parallax perfect relative to the camera. That is the game engine bit.
You kind of have to see it to understand it. They almost totally do away with green screens so they don't have to do the laborious process of green screen removal. It was amazing.
They call the stage The Void. I want to go to there. It was amazing. The show is still burning my head.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
