The Making Of: Eric Hasso on
Virtual Production & ICVFX
This episode of The Making Of features Eric Hasso, founder of
Igelkott Studios, discussing his pioneering one-lens 360° capture method and projection-based
in-camera VFX workflows.
A must-listen for anyone exploring how production is evolving on set.
In this episode, Eric Hasso reflects on how he captured driving plates using a single-lens 360° system, no stitching, no greenscreen, just seamless projection. He walks through the technical process, explains why projection gives DPs maximum creative control over lighting and focus, and shares how his method simplifies virtual production. He also discusses the role of his Producer’s Manual, recent projects, and why solving cinematic challenges keeps pushing him forward.
“Projectors give you real creative freedom; the screen never limits your shot or depth of field.” / Eric Hasso
