Virtualis Studios Tapped by Endemol Shine to Provide Scalable Remote Production Solution
April 28 2021 - 8:30AM
Virtualis Studios, the innovative cloud-based,
fully virtual video production division of
Super
League Gaming (Nasdaq: SLGG), announced today the studio’s
recent selection by
Endemol Shine North
America, a division of
Banijay, the
world’s largest international content producer and distributor
delivering world-class content and compelling storytelling to
multiple platforms in the U.S. and across the globe, to provide
remote production and monitoring solutions for the second season of
FOX’s
LEGO Masters. Through this deal,
Virtualis Studios supported
Endemol
Shine’s commitment to maintain COVID-safe environments,
contain costs, meet tight production timelines and facilitate
critical real-time, remote communications between producers,
executives, directors, agents, contestants and talent while
shooting. The second season of
LEGO Masters is set
to premiere Tuesday, June 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
“Virtualis Studios was an integral and
invaluable contributor to our daily production and communication
workflows for LEGO Masters. We needed someone with
deep experience in remote production and monitoring who could
eliminate the unknowns and provide a solution that just worked for
our team and our partners, no matter what,” says Rob Day, Endemol
Shine’s EVP and Head of Production. “Virtualis understands that
production has changed forever and has a system and approach that
meet our current and future needs.”
Virtualis Studios specializes
in integrating multiple technology solutions to ensure any given
project can be produced and monitored successfully on a partially
or fully remote basis. The proprietary infrastructure supports
multiple, concurrent virtual control rooms that are fully
operational at any given time, with limitless scalability compared
to what is possible within physical studios and on-site control
rooms. Able to be deployed across small- and large-scale projects,
including live broadcasts, live events and live-to-tape
entertainment and branded content productions, Virtualis’ system
and team of expert producers, technical directors, broadcast
technicians and engineers ensure seamless communications and up to
hundreds of dynamic content sources are available through a stable
and secure cloud-based framework with near-zero latency.
“Even with the capabilities available during a
broadcast network-level sound stage production, traditional
workflows do not accommodate functions such as remote monitoring
and digital guest support,” says Brian Gramo, General Manager of
Virtualis Studios. “When we showed the executives in charge of
production how easy it is to plug into Virtualis and just go, their
broadcast crew was thrilled.”
“Endemol Shine is one of the most exciting and
sophisticated content production companies in the world,” says Mike
Baron, SVP of Partnerships for Super League and Virtualis Studios.
“We are thankful that they recognized why Virtualis Studios is
unique and so well-suited to support the LEGO
Masters television franchise.”
