Westworld How Westworld is leading the way in the Korean VFX industry Founded in 2018 by a group of industry veterans at the forefront of the Korean VFX scene for over 20 years, Westworld is a specialized visual effects company with an impressive portfolio of globally recognized 昀椀lms and TV series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic making it dif昀椀cult to shoot on location, interest has increased in virtual production, a 昀椀lmmaking method in which real-time virtual rendered scenes surround physical actors and props on set using an LED screen during shooting. By quickly and actively adopting the latest tools and techniques, Westworld is now leading the way for virtual production in South Korea. Westworld used virtual production for Sweet Home, a Net昀氀ix original series released in 2020 that was shot while monitoring pre-produced digital characters at the studio. The Silent Sea, another Net昀氀ix series, also used virtual production methods, this time shooting against a background displayed on an LED screen. Learn more Image courtesy of Westworld
