■About Virtual MAN
Shifting the filming environment to Virtual Production
A new-age filming solution solves special effects with filming. With Virtual Production, we provide comprehensive support from planning, proposal, and content production to on-site supervising. Be freed from locations and times.

Seamless coordination from planning to filming
Virtual MAN has LED pitch configurations and layout settings according to your budget. We offer comprehensive management from planning and image creation to Virtual Production filming. We also supervise and coordinate LED wall filming using Unreal Engine. Besides filming, we propose events using LED walls. We also handle asset creation according to diverse needs.

We renewed our website as well with the unit launch.
Along with Virtual MAN, the web page for our Digital Reality Location service, offered by NEXT G, a joint project with Geek Pictures, and reproducing real places in three-dimensional computer graphics, is added.

In January 2022, VISUALMAN TOKYO Inc. marked its 10th anniversary and the 8th year since joining Geek Community. The Company will continue its business expansion in commercials, music videos, and movies.

■About Digital Reality Location
Digital Reality Location processes, combines, and edits data of real places, such as streets and tourist spots, rendered in three-dimensional computer graphics according to user needs.

The realistic 3D computer graphics images rendered based on 3D scanned point cloud data of real places deliver quality equivalent to images filmed at the site to customers. These can be used not only for live-action films but also for game and animation production.

Upon starting the service, we measured the required data, such as point cloud data, from June 2020. We began providing the Shibuya Scramble Crossing area in January 2021 and the Ginza 4-chome Crossing area in November 2021. Other places in Japan centered on famous locations in Tokyo, like Shinjuku Kabukicho and creative imaginary locations, will be provided in the future.
