Why Projection Outperforms LED and Green Screen
In virtual production, there are three main screen options: projection, LED walls, and green screen. Each has its place, but projection offers unique advantages for filmmakers who demand realism and efficiency.
Projection vs LED Walls:
-
No pixel structure or moiré when the background is in focus.
-
Smooth motion and fidelity in shadow detail without black crush.
-
No gradation banding in highlights or gradients.
-
More natural reflections on car bodywork, glass, and metallic surfaces.
Projection vs Green Screen:
-
Actors and crew see and interact with the environment in real time.
-
Environmental lighting and reflections are captured in-camera.
-
No chroma key spill, edge artifacts, or post-production compositing costs.
With projection, what you see on set is what you get in the final shot. This keeps the focus on performance and cinematography, rather than display limitations or post-production fixes.
