Presented in an off-site private demo setting in Las Vegas, the demonstration transforms a hotel terrace into a working film studio running on laptops from Puget Systems.

It’s a whole new approach to filmmaking and it illustrates how advances in technology are reshaping how content is created. The pipeline combines real-time environments, virtual cameras, and AI relighting to allow footage captured on location to remain fully editable after the shoot — including lighting, environment, and creative intent — without requiring LED volumes or traditional studio infrastructure.

At the core of the demonstration is a broader shift in filmmaking workflows in which the studio becomes portable, production becomes editable, and smaller teams gain access to large-scale production capabilities. The session offers a practical look at how these technologies can move beyond theory into real-world production environments.

Here is more information about the solution, shared by both companies:

A new kind of production pipeline

A showcase of the complete filmmaking process from concept through to the final shot, using a compact, on-location setup that brings traditionally separate stages into a single continuous workflow.

It begins in a virtual environment, where scenes are blocked and explored using high-fidelity worlds built with tools such as Terra from District Cinema and Gaussian-splat environments from XGRIDS and WorldLabs. Rather than treating this as previs alone, the environment becomes the foundation for everything that follows.

From there, directors move seamlessly into shot development — rehearsing camera moves, staging, and performance in real time using virtual cameras, markerless motion capture, and environments built in Unreal Engine. Decisions that would typically be deferred to later stages are made early, while the scene remains fluid and adjustable.

Production then shifts to a physical setting, where actors are filmed on location using cinema cameras and spatial tracking. Without the need for LED volumes or greenscreen, the setup remains lightweight and portable, while still capturing the data required for downstream transformation.

This footage is then processed using Beeble’s AI technology, including SwitchLight and SwitchX, where lighting and environments can be reshaped after capture. Instead of being locked at the point of shooting, key creative decisions remain open, allowing scenes to be refined, relit, and recontextualised in post.

As Conrad Curtis, Production and Partnerships Lead at Beeble, explains:

“What’s changing is that production is no longer the point where decisions get locked in. You can carry creative intent all the way through the process — shaping light, environment, and performance even after the shoot. This is the infrastructure for the age of generative cinema that has the creative control filmmakers of today expect, and  fundamentally changes how films will be made.”

The result is a finished cinematic shot, produced through a workflow in which production and post-production are no longer separate phases but part of a single iterative process.
