Most people never meet their heroes. Logan Sargeant gets to race his. Michelob ULTRA Lap of Legends is a real race. On a real track. Between Williams Racing’s current driver, Logan Sargeant, and six legendary champions.
Brought back to the track as virtual avatars. All powered by artificial intelligence.
Silverstone without the cars? Filming at Silverstone is always fantastic, but this shoot was VERY different. TX had the challenge of filming a race at Silverstone where most of the cars only existed in the virtual world.
We simultaneously supplied multiple crewed camera units around the track to merge real-world pictures with real-time generated overlays from Mo-sys tracking systems. Our long-range wireless links fed live imagery of the virtual race back to video village for the even bigger challenge faced by the post production team.
See the final output below, a fantastic video showing how we can push the boat out blending these emerging technologies such as; AI and mixed reality with real-life footage:
Another fantastic year for BBC Springwatch. Our remote controlled cameras again provided close-up shots of the flora and fauna. Operators love the smooth control and robust power and data solutions makes our systems a solid choice for live action on this annual event.

Education via VR Film – TX are incredibly proud to have to have helped create this set of powerful Virtual Reality films for East City Films for the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Centre in Skokie, Illinois, USA.
These three films tell the stories of three incredible women: Rodi, Doris and Marion. Each of whom tells their personal story of how they survived the holocaust with the odds stacked against them.
Each of their stories are remarkable and it was a real honour to help tell them.
TX provided a complete solution of VR cameras, specialised grip, lighting and drones, together with the crew to make the shots possible.
