representative of our real world, like our work on Chernobyl or Last Night in Soho , or creative imaginings of new worlds, like Dune or Blade Runner 2049 . Being able to explore these realms in a shared and collaborative way will not only help to create outstanding films – it will also open the door to fresh interactive experiences.

Arri’s understanding of digital photorealism and efficient high-quality content capture means we have a lot to offer across both areas of development. A fantastic example of this is our journey into virtual production and mixed reality. We’ve used our experiences and observations to refine, develop and establish workflows and standards. We’ve been able to deliver some of the most technologically advanced mixed reality studios in operation today.
