Eric Rigney - Acoustical Challenges of Volumetric Stages

Sacramento SMPTE Presentation - February 15, 2023 Acoustical Challenges of Volumetric Stages Described and Demonstrated Eric Rigney, Virtual Production Specialist Synopsis of meeting: While capturing in-camera visual effects or ‘final pixel’ remains a primary goal of On-Set Virtual Production, recording usable performance dialog capable of making it all the way to mix or ‘final sample’ has all but been ignored. Compared with traditional production sound stages, the acoustical environment created within an LED volumetric stage is highly reflective and sensitive to noise. To those unacquainted with the creative impact attached to an actor’s specific performance, Automated Dialog Replacement (ADR) may seem an acceptable alternative. Removing all the logistical, economic, and artistic challenges associated with ADR recording and producers are still left with an inferior product, an artistic performance cost. The director and actor made great efforts toward delivering the best performance. As unique as a snowflake, once performed, it cannot be reproduced. While a zero-ADR (ZADR) effort may not always succeed fully, its goal is as creatively and economically valuable as is ‘final pixels.’ About the speaker: Eric Rigney is a Combination M&E technologist, problem-solver, entrepreneur, facility's manager, and educator. A proven history of M&E innovation leadership, development & implementation of technological & workflow efficiencies that deliver profitable outcomes and customer satisfaction. Current areas of development include digital infrastructure to support digital centric M&E technologies and workflows, as well as tools and techniques to improve acoustical environments. Helping today intersect with tomorrow. CURRENT 1) Subject matter expert in sound reflection & noise mitigation in volume stages (finalsample.com). Tools for measuring and correcting acoustical environments: recording studios, mix stages, screening room, theaters, etc. 2) Spearheading awareness and adoption of existing data industry standards within M&E's data center infrastructures to accommodate technical alignment, interoperability, risk mitigation, and customer service (EVP, MEDCA). Able to offer cost-effective data infrastructure solutions. 3) Interest in digital supply-chain, AI/ML, content security, and hybrid/on-prem/edge data center workflows.
