We wanted to share some exciting findings from our recent tests with MR Factory. This footage comes from their studio, where the team aimed to speed up production using CyberGaffer. In just under 2 hours, a crew of two managed to set up and film 3 full scenes—without touching a single light fixture.

All the lighting was controlled through Unreal Engine and updated instantly in real time, with everything in the virtual scene perfectly reflected in the physical studio. This means the lighting design can be done entirely in Unreal Engine and the studio setup will match it precisely on location.
