HDR domes
High dynamic range images captured alongside our Location packages to provide accurate lighting and reflections.

Although their primary purpose is to provide high quality lighting and reflections within CGI, it’s also possible to use some HDR domes for 360° configurators, depending on their capture position.

Cityscapes
Panoramic photographs of city scenes, captured with compositing in mind.

Scenescapes
Panoramic photographs of rural landscapes, captured with compositing in mind.

Skyscapes
An ever growing collection of skies, captured with compositing in mind.

Key backplate

Each Location package has a Key backplate, this is our creative vision of how the location works best for an automotive composition.

Extension plates

We also capture extension plates alongside the keyframe. These provide you with additional flexibility, allowing for scene extension, increased resolution and they can even be used as alternative standalone backplates.

Matching HDR dome

Each location has a matching HDR dome that we capture as close as possible to the point where we envisage the CG vehicle being placed.

Other angles

At each location we typically capture 3-6 Location packages, offering you a choice of angle options.

They provide alternative composition options that focus on the same area and share the same HDR dome.

Location stacks

In some scenarios such as busy city environments we may decide to capture a Location stack. This is a set of images captured from a fixed position to try and achieve a clean backplate.

Featured images

A featured image has been cleaned in retouch and given a stylised look. We always provide the RAW file so you can do your own thing instead.

Tracking

Some Featured images are tracked using industry leading specialist tracking software. All our tracking is done in post so the RAW file remains unedited.

Lighting FX

Our flares are rendered using renowned software borrowed from the VFX industry and applied in post. They offer an enhanced look to some specially selected imagery.

Day for night

We grade a small selection of day time shots as night time images to show the potential of using rural landscape locations in this way.

Panoramas

Some of our Featured images have been stitched together using two or more backplates. This gives you a super wide field of view with extra resolution.
