In May 2020, amidst the COVID-19 lockdown, I created a video tutorial addressing a critical challenge faced by the video production industry: how to maintain production quality and speed when teams couldn't be physically together. This tutorial demonstrates a powerful prototype for real-time compositing of live video footage in Unreal Engine using NDI. As a bonus, I also show how to integrate a Virtual Camera controlled by an HTC Vive VR Tracking system.

This prototype opened doors for fully remote productions, proving that we could achieve astonishing results in quality and speed, limited only by network bandwidth. This idea became a lifeline for my team at AT&T during those uncertain times, helping us stay afloat and continue to deliver high-quality content remotely. It highlighted a path forward for virtual production workflows, showcasing how technology could bridge physical distances and ensure creative continuity.
