A live performance by Woodkid in Jan Böhmermann's Cologne studio without the French singer leaving his lockdown in Grenoble?
There's no such thing as can't, said "ZDF Magazin Royale" and quickly brought him in as a 4D model to perform together with the Rundfunk Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld.
This had "never really been done anywhere else in the world", says creative producer Constantin Timm in the making-of video, which reveals more details about the making of the performance. 4Dviews in Grenoble recorded Woodkid in the Greenstudio using photogrammetry. The studio in Cologne had already been measured for augmented reality effects anyway. So the Woodkid model was inserted into a scene set up in Unreal. Dominik Döhler and his Solingen studio from BERG were responsible for the latter and for relighting the model in coordination with the lighting director in the studio.
German audiences where left in amazement, how far ahead public television can be...
