Information About

Digital Backlot




( 2005 ).]]
''Digital backlot'' (also known as a '''''virtual backlot''''') is a term used to describe motion picture sets that have neither genuine location shoots nor practical (i.e. hand-built) sets on the soundstages; the shooting takes place entirely on a stage with a blank background (often a Greenscreen ) that will have an artificial environment put in during post-production. It is often used in futuristic films to achieve what would otherwise be too expensive to build as a real set.
