Eros International Plc , a global Indian entertainment company, on Thursday entered into a strategic collaboration with Epic Games related to Eros’s use of Epic’s Unreal Engine across the production slate.
The use of Unreal Engine will help in accelerating production efficiencies using real-time rendering technology, eliminating physical production restrictions on set during shoot and postproduction, the company said in a statement.
The collaboration will assist Eros in pushing the envelope of high-quality pre-visualisation, virtual production, and in-camera visual effects that take the post out of production. Additionally, the strategic human resource investment into the collaboration will result in support for the growth and development of Eros's talent pool,” the company said.
The advanced real-time rendering capability of Unreal Engine provides filmmakers with the power to optimise their production pipelines, receive immediate feedback on their work, and make changes to visual assets, it claimed.
“We are extremely excited to collaborate with Epic games to further popularise real-time production to India through Unreal Engine. Eros is innovative by nature, and with Unreal Engine, we can bring in better cost efficiency for all our film and television projects across the globe,” said Ridhima Lulla, Chief Content Officer of Eros Group.
