PROXi Virtual Production, founded by stuntman Guy Norris and his sons Harrison and Harlon, is a powerful previz tool that uses Reallusion's Character Creator and iClone with Unreal Engine to create adjustable 3D sequences before filming.
Behind the Scenes
This virtual sandbox approach allows key creatives to collaborate and refine sequences before production begins, saving time and money.
Character Creator 3's Headshot tool uses AI to produce digital likenesses of cast members from a single photo, rapidly populating scenes with characters.
PROXi has worked on notable projects such as The Suicide Squad, Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Netflix's Triple Frontier, and Disney+ The Mandalorian.

The Bottom Line
PROXi Virtual Production's integration of Reallusion's software and Unreal Engine showcases the growing importance of virtual production tools in the film industry, even if it's just for pre-production.
By leveraging these tools, filmmakers can streamline the creative process, collaborate more effectively, and visualize key moments before principal photography begins, ultimately optimizing time and budget while enhancing the final product.
