...in real time. The Mill Blackbird is a fully configurable electric car that can be adapted to physically mimic different cars. Combined with AR technology and the Unreal Engine, a film-maker can film on-site and see, in real time, the subject car there as well. This provides a huge benefit, particularly in creating ads for car companies in cases when the car is still a secret or it doesn't even exist yet. It also means not having to wait for months of post-production to see a result, allowing for more creative choices on set.
Seeing the awesome quality of this system, I'm almost tempted to stick AR markers all over my Mazda to turn it into a Mazderati.
The Mill Blackbird is a special motion-capture rig built onto an electric car. Paired with Unreal Engine, the Blackbird can be used to show any vehicle racing along in the real world in real time when being filmed.
