Pre-production is important for producing high-quality CGI room sets. Here’s what you need to know before working with a CGI production company.

When it comes to CGI Projects, a fair amount of our work is for clients who have never tried it before.  They usually have a whole host of questions, which is completely understandable with a relatively new technology.  We do our best to provide as much information as possible on our website and our blog - which hopefully answers most of your questions before you even have to pick up the phone.

How do you become a photo retoucher? We share the stories from five of our retouchers and how they ended up in the field. 

"Honestly, the project seemed insurmountable - we had to build and shoot 28 sets in 2 weeks. TRG had the capabilities, organization, and attention to detail to not only pull it off, but execute it perfectly.  Not only that, but we had a great time doing it. From top to bottom the whole group was amazing."

Ok, we say it all the time and by now, you're probably sick of hearing it - but this is true, we live for creating imagery of all kinds. It doesn't matter what the product is, what you're using it for, or what your overall project goals are, there is nothing that excites us more than to partner with you and work together to bring your ideas to life.

TRG Reality’s CG department has done it again. In one of our most recent and super fun projects, Mike has created a 1:1 rendering of our own CG office. You may recall our blog on Oculus and the latest trend of using the game-centered technology to manipulate and enter into any CG world. The main idea of our project was to offer a tour of the CG office space via Oculus for that true 3D CGI experience; however, we have created a version that doesn’t need the Oculus Headset - so you can take a look at what we’ve done on your computer monitor.  Everything in the rendered room has been scaled to the exact size it needs to be in order to ensure the viewer feels as though they are walking around the real TRG office. 

In the recent past, we’ve covered the steps that it takes in order to ensure we have a successful location shoot, we’ve outlined in detail just what goes into managing a project, and we’ve defined who you will see working on set during your photography or video shoot. But what we have yet to touch upon is the pre-PRE step of what our clients can prepare to help initially plan out all of the magic that will take place once the project gets under way. Here are the 7 things you can prepare to make sure your vision comes to life!

Though we are known primarily as a photography studio, TRG Reality produces a lot of video as well. On a video shoot, you can expect to see numerous people hustling and bustling about, taking care of all that needs to be accomplished for the day’s work. But who are these people, and what do they do? Moreover, if you are on set during a video shoot, and you have a question about where a prop should be moved, the lighting, the talent’s outfit, lunch, etc., whom do you ask? Here is a list of all of the people, as well as a description of their responsibilities, you may find on your next video shoot with TRG.

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about virtual reality via mediums such as Oculus and Morpheus. In that blog, we focused on how this not-so-new immersion technology was making a huge comeback, impacting several industries in the near future, such as home improvement, gaming, and medicine. But what you may not be aware of is that there is a different kind of “reality” out there – augmented reality – and just like it’s full-immersion cousin, the artistry behind this technology is right up TRG’s alley.
