Press Release
Geek Pictures’ NEXT G Project Newly Adds Ginza to the Digital Reality Location!
Geek Pictures Inc.; Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Tamotsu Kosano, announces the start of providing the Ginza 4-chome Crossing area on its Digital Reality Location service offered by the NEXT G project in which companies of GEEK Community is involved.
NEXT G is a project consolidating artificial intelligence and digital projects, which each GEEK Community company, including the group companies, is working on for their project enhancement. The “G” in NEXT G stands for “Geek Pictures,” as well as the initial of the words “Generate,” “Global,” and “Generation,” which all often appear in our beliefs. As society is rapidly changing, Next G will develop projects for the next generation ahead of the times and offer services to various creative areas with the intention of their application in vast fields, including the film industry.
As the first NEXT G project, the Digital Reality Location service, which reproduces real places in three-dimensional computer graphics, was launched in February 2021, along with the co-developer and Geek Community affiliate company VISUALMAN TOKYO Inc.
Digital Reality Location allows creative activities with a high degree of freedom in locations with shooting restrictions. When the service started, only the Shibuya Scramble Crossing area was available. Now, the Ginza 4-chome Crossing area is newly added to the menu.
■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.
Digital Reality Location:
・enables any creative content in locations with shooting restrictions,
・allows complete control of camera work and angles, and
・shortens production time by reducing CG production hours.
■Background of the Development of this Service
Traditional shooting procedures have many challenges, including location issues, such as the inability to obtain road usage permission, no budget and time to take actors to far filming locations, and the difficulty in controlling the general public, as well as film and content production challenges, such as the need to create computer graphics per scene. NEXT G has developed the Digital Reality Location to allow producers to embody their creative ideas smoothly and to help the further development of the filming industry.
