This is super interesting stuff and I've been following it for some time. I just wrote it up with a bit more context:

It's not just ILM and Disney either, this is going to be everywhere. It's complex to set up and run in some ways but the benefits are enormous for pretty much everyone involved. I doubt there will be a major TV or film production that doesn't use LED walls 5 years from now.

I wonder how much this reduces the environmental footprint. The explosion in shows and movies always looking for raw nature or awesome settings has me wondering how much destruction it makes. And how much waste it produces.

Well maybe you arent trucking a huge crew out into the woods for weeks but you are creating a ton of disposable ewaste instead. Save on jet fuel too

Environmental footprint? A local trade show, movie theater or small office building probably uses more electricity. Let's try to keep things in perspective.

I think he meant flying large crews, including actors, caterers etc., to Iceland to film a movie vs a small photogrammetry team.

Is there any way to read your article if I can’t figure out how to navigate through the legalese and dark patterns of Verizon’s privacy extortion wall?

Some of the behind the scenes photos are really uncanny. Your eyes tell you you’re looking at a photo of an outdoor scene, but the illusion of reality breaks down in subtle ways at the edges of the image.

Interesting, right? I imagine it may actually be kind of distracting for the actors, though it has to be better than working in a giant bright green cave. You should watch the behind the scenes video, seeing it in motion is really cool.

I don't see a privacy extortion wall, but I do see pictures with completely the wrong aspect ratio.
