Driving Plates for
In-Camera Visual Effects
A driving plate is a pre-recorded, high-resolution video of a moving environment captured from the perspective of a driver. In in-camera visual effects, these plates are projected or played back on LED walls to create the illusion of real driving, without ever leaving the studio.
At Igelkott Studios, our driving plates are captured using our One-Lens 16K360 Capture system. This single-lens approach eliminates stitching, preserves perfect perspective, and delivers realism that integrates seamlessly with virtual production and post-VFX workflows.
Why Our Plates Stand Out
-
Plug-and-Play: No stitching, no artifact cleanup, ready to load into Barco projection for ICVFX or LED playback systems.
-
True-to-Life Environments: Captured on real roads to preserve authentic lighting,
reflections, and motion. -
Studio-Proven: Used in productions for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Warner Bros,
and Viaplay.
Use Cases
Our driving plates for ICVFX are built for productions where the vehicle is central to the story, not just background filler.
-
Car Process Scenes: Designed for extended dialogue takes without the constant resets of a process trailer. Capture natural motion, reflections, and perfect perspective while keeping actors in the moment. Works seamlessly with our Pop-Up Car Stage for realistic projection-based shoots.
-
Commercial Productions: Ideal for advertising where authentic reflections and road lighting enhance the subject. Browse available plates in the Igelkott Plates catalog.
-
Complex Action Sequences: Coordinating armed characters, police convoys, or multiple vehicle movements within projection-based virtual production.
-
Virtual Production Tests & Demos: Perfect for showcasing workflows to clients and crew before committing to location filming.
-
Immersive & Simulation Environments: From dome and museum installations to VR experiences, supported by our One-Lens 16K360 capture technology.
-
Studio Shoots with Image-Based Lighting: Plates that drive both the background and realistic lighting for mirrors, windshields, and chrome.
Every plate is produced to integrate into a calibrated ICVFX workflow, reducing prep time and eliminating the need for post-production fixes.
