Visual development
See and develop imagery, stage, light and video together. For first concepts and creative decisions with artists, designers and production teams.
The Realtime Studio · EUREF Campus, Düsseldorf
Shape the show before you arrive on site.
A shared place for visual development, digital rehearsals and preprogramming. Explore the idea, then prepare the agreed elements for production.
01 · The shift
Make room for creative decisions. Before rehearsals.
Bring the creative and technical teams into the same view. In Unreal Engine, we develop and review the agreed elements of your production. Start with an idea, or bring an existing showfile and stage model. Together we establish what can be explored and prepared reliably.
Digital rehearsals & preprogramming
Check existing show data, prepare agreed sequences and work on cues together. Your data and goals determine what can be moved into the studio.
02 · What we explore, in realtime
Every part of the show — before the show exists.
Static view — the interactive scene needs WebGL.
- Lighting Lighting ideas and cue moves, seen in context — while changing them is still cheap.
- Camera Camera positions and framings, tried long before the first rig day.
- LED & visuals Screen content on the actual surfaces — scale, brightness and timing judged in place.
- Timing One timeline for every department — cues align before anyone is on site.
03 · Why it changes the outcome
01
Fewer surprises on site
Review critical design questions before load-in. Technical checks and rehearsals on the actual stage remain part of the production.
02
Decisions made earlier, together
Creative, lighting, video and technical teams align in one room, months ahead.
03
A higher creative ceiling
When ideas are cheap to test, the bolder ones survive.
04
Less friction between departments
Everyone sees the same thing at the same time. Fewer translations, fewer misunderstandings.
05 · How it's built
Built on Unreal Engine — visualized in realtime, refined live, in the room with you.
