    How Madmapper was used during Star Trek Picard Season 3 production!

    Dear mappers,

    We're very glad to share with you the work of Todd A. Marks and the Images On Screen team for the latest season of Star Trek Picard.

    It's awesome to see MadMapper used for such a production, and it's also very exciting to discover the incredible work of Images On Screen, where no mapping has gone before!

    "To create the futuristic command consoles and computer screens on the bridge of the Federation Constellation class starship, the U.S.S. Stargazer, for seasons two and three, the production brought in Todd A. Marks, principal of Images On Screen to serve as Computer Playback Supervisor.
    Marks brought back some old tricks, as well as some new, updated techniques, and paired with high resolution projection solutions from Epson, while using MadMapper.
    “Unlike some other film and TV shows using expensive and significantly more complex LED walls, projectors allowed us to create the visuals we wanted for a fraction of the price,” comments Marks. Also using MadMapper projection mapping software to playback and change effects in real-time, Images On Screen could map out the visuals Twisted Media created and react quickly to adjust for changing hero shots and background effects. Marks comments, “The use of practical projection playback dramatically minimized the need to use more expensive post-production effects in many situations during production.”

    Shoutout to the Playback Team including Todd A. Marks (center on the last picture) and, from L-R, Larry Markart, Peter Macaluso, Ben Betts, Rick Khan, and Andrew Miller. All photo courtesy Images On Screen.
